While cars today are much more reliable than in the past, there still may be a day when your vehicle let's you down. We hope it doesn't go out while driving down a desolate road somewhere, but regardless of where, not having a car can be a serious issue.
The next step then becomes, "Where can I find a good mechanic?". Let me make a personal experience based suggestion here. Always get an estimate! While most mechanics are genuinely honest, I find that the price being quoted to try to get your business can be much lower than the bill when you come back if you just tell them to "Fix what needs to be fixed". That quote should be broken into two pieces; parts and labor. If your car is broken down, chances are that convenience will be a valuable factor when determining what you might be willing to pay. I know there have been times when saving $50-$100 dollars by waiting an extra day would not be worth it.
But there are also times when the repair just cannot be made because of financial constraints... those are the times that Autopartstomorrow.com can help. Ask your mechanic if he will allow you to buy the parts on your own for him to install. Understand that he typically makes a markup (profit) on the parts so understand the reluctance. You might even agree to pay a little more on the labor side and accept the liability on parts warranties if he will help. If he will, ask him for the part numbers you will need, or direct him to our site to buy the parts with your credit card. On large repairs it might just be the difference between getting the job done or calling the junkyard.
