when i take my car to the garage i tell him "i think this has gone & can you check for such a thing& ring me first" he then checks the car......... rings me tell me what needs doing & how much it will cost (roughly) & i tell him what i want doing that day, then take the car back for the rest of work doing ( if its not dangerous), i need my car daily so its the way me & the mechanic work..................... it works for me.
