Find A Mechanic Near Me: Leverage Local Expertise To Save Time And Money

“Should I Drive To The Dealership Or Find A Mechanic Near Me?”

Ultimately, only you can decide what’s best, but make no mistake: you do not need to return to the dealership for your auto repairs. It doesn’t guarantee better service and it’s not necessary to keep your warranty protection. And if your dealership is located out of town, you’ll be paying extra, both in terms of service costs and travel expenses, for no apparent gain. Plus you’ll be missing out on the unique benefits of buying local.

Choosing a local mechanic isn’t only great for the environment; it’s also a smart strategy that can save you time and money on auto repairs, and get you better results, too. And with 300+ TIRECRAFT mechanics operating around the country, qualified help is closer than you think.

Read on to learn a few of the benefits of buying local, or use the Find a TIRECRAFT tool to consult with a qualified mechanic near you.

Find A TIRECRAFT Mechanic Near Me: Shop Local And Save Big

These are just a few of the reasons why so many Canadians make a point of visiting their local TIRECRAFT for auto repairs, maintenance, and part replacements:

1. Better product and service recommendations. Local road and weather conditions greatly affect the service life and performance of different tires, parts, and systems.

For example, if you live in the country and drive on a lot of gravel roads, you’ll need more rugged tires to avoid accelerated wear caused by poor traction, excessive slipping/spinning, and moisture build-up from caked dirt and mud. Likewise, those bumpy road conditions will put more strain on your suspension system, leading your control arm tie rods, ball joints, trailing arm bushing, and struts to wear out much sooner.

Your local weather matters, too. For example, while most people recommend using snow tires in winter—and about 70% of drivers now do, according to the Tire and Rubber Association of Canada (TRAC)—they won’t be necessary if you live somewhere with moderate snowfall and mild temperatures that rarely drop below 7 degrees Celsius. In this case, a bit of local expertise could save you well over $1000 on unnecessary winter tires and seasonal storage/changeover costs.

Clearly, to get the best performance and service life out of your tires and auto parts, you need part and service recommendations made with your unique road and weather conditions in mind. Contact your local TIRECRAFT to leverage our local expertise, get personalized product recommendations, and create a custom service schedule to offset any accelerated wear.

2. Easy drop-offs and pick-ups. When driving out of town to get service from a dealership, you’re typically stuck in the waiting room until your service is complete. But when you shop local, drop-offs and pick-ups are much easier to coordinate. What’s more, many TIRECRAFT locations offer a shuttle service.

3. Build a relationship and bank rewards points. Working with a nearby mechanic makes it much easier to maintain a regular service schedule, since you don’t have to coordinate pick-ups/drop-offs, make extra time for long drives, or save up extra money to pay dealership premiums. And the more you visit your local mechanic, the better they get to know your vehicle and driving habits, which leads to better service recommendations, more chances to detect problems early, and more opportunities to bank discount dollars through the MyTIRECRAFT Rewards program.

4. More recommendations from friends and family. When you choose a mechanic near you, there’s a chance your friends and family members have gone there, too, which can help you find a qualified provider and greatly reduce any pre-purchase anxiety. And if not, you can always seek out reviews—according to the BrightLocal Consumer Review Survey, 84% of people now trust online reviews as much as recommendations from friends and family. If you’re among them, you’ll be pleased to learn that we’ve earned hundreds of glowing reviews from satisfied customers:
