Car Repair Oakland - Tips & Advice

Having your car repaired in Oakland can be a daunting experience. Labor rates are almost as high as those in San Francisco and many places are booked weeks in advance. There are a lot of smaller shops out there but you have to be careful because the fly-by-night companies do exist. It is not uncommon at all to be dealing with shops who are using stolen parts or unlicensed technicians. When looking for shops doing car repairs in Oakland make sure to get community recommendations if you can, and do background checks either way. Shops that have been in business for a long time in the same location are a good bet.

Many of car repairs in Oakland are emission related and are often initiated after failing a smog check. In 2006 the California Department of Consumer Affairs? Bureau of Automotive Repair’s “Clean Car? repair effectiveness program was expanded to include on site repairs performed on cars that failed a smog check. The goal was to educate smog technicians on the repairs that are appropriate and most efficient for reducing a vehicles smog output. Some smog repair shops were fined for not adhering to existing standards and the licenses of some technicians were revoked or suspended for violating existing rules and regulations and performing illegal activities. Some of these were in Oakland so when looking for car repairs in Oakland make sure to do some research at www.smogcheck.ca.gov.

The Better Business Bureau Online www.bbb.com is another good place to do some background research when looking for a shop to do car repairs in Oakland. Make sure the shop you take your car into is registered with the BBB and doesn’t have any outstanding complaints.

Certification by professional organizations is another plus to look for. American Ratings Corporation has created a Directory of “Diamond Certified? repair shops including some specializing in car repairs in Oakland. AAA approved auto repair is another symbol to look out for along with ASE (Automotive Service Excellence). Shops affiliated with these professional organizations will have more incentive to resolve any customer complaints in a timely manner so their standing is not affected. Some of the organizations (such as the BBB) even offer meditation services to help resolve complaints outside of a courtroom.
