You want to keep your vehicle and if the repair costs are higher than the value of your car, not to mention you will find yourself with a new mechanic. To help, I turned to my father, an award-winning car repair shop in New Jersey, for advice on finding a decent, honest mechanic. If the shop won’t show you the repair voluntarily, if they diagnose something expensive, insist to see it for yourself.

I know that Honest Mechanic may sound like an oxymoron, but let’s call it what it is – don’t throw a softball by calling a mistake honest. [...]

If you’ve ever bought or sold a used car, chances are you’ve looked at Kelley Blue Book before money changed hands to make sure you got a fair price. But how does it actually measure the used car values and what does the KBB say about how much they are worth?
