<ul>
<li>Ask people you know if they are happy with their repair shop and why. You can also find out if a shop has a history of complaints with the Better Business Bureau by visiting www.bbb.org or calling 815-963-2222.</li>
<li>Find out how much experience technicians have with vehicles like yours.</li>
<li>Look around: The waiting area should be clean and display technician certifications and memberships in professional organizations. The work flow should appear smooth. Also pay attention to whether other customers appear satisfied.</li>
<li>Technicians should be open to answering questions and willing to take the time to talk to you about your vehicle’s needs.</li>
<li>Ask if there is a warranty on parts and labor and what is covered.</li>
<li>Get a quote, preferably in writing, before any work is done.</li>
</ul>
