How to get a fair price at an auto shop near you

Always ask for a written estimate before any work begins - this is your legal right in most states. Ask if the shop warranties their work and for how long.

What to do if your car breaks down near you

First: get safely off the road and turn on your hazard lights. Call your roadside assistance (AAA, insurance-provided, or manufacturer) for a tow. If you need to find a nearby shop quickly, use this page - search your current location and call the nearest auto shop to ask if they can receive a tow today. Don't let a tow truck take your car to an unknown shop without checking reviews first.
