In need of a tune-up or maybe your car started making an interesting sound? It’s important to have a team of reliable tire + auto service experts on hand for regular maintenance and those pesky car emergencies that pop up.

So, how do you choose the right repair shop? Here are four things to keep in mind:

  1. Word of mouth + reviews: Ask for recommendations from friends and family, and always check online reviews.
  2. Research: Shop around for the best deal, and don’t be afraid to ask for a better price. Best-One of Indy offers the lowest tire price, guaranteed. If you find a lower advertised price or have a quote from a competitor, they’ll beat that price.
  3. Transportation options: Shops that offer free shuttle services (like Best-One of Indy) and rides back to work or home are always a good bet.
  4. Certifications: Keep an eye out for the Automotive Service Excellence seal particularly, which indicates that some or all of the shop’s technicians meet basic standards of knowledge and competence in specific technical areas.
