What are questions I should always ask a new mechanic?

What are some questions I should ask a mechanic to make sure they're good? I need to find a new mechanic, but I've never done it before. I know I should ask a few questions to get a feel for them.

“Finding a new mechanic is a scary venture. To some degree, it’s almost like dating again after a long-term relationship. It’s a bit awkward and you’re never really sure what to say.
Well, to get around this, just memorize these questions to ask a new mechanic to get a feel for them:
  • Are you ASE certified?
  • What is your policy on used and new parts?
  • Are your price and time quotes always accurate?
  • How long have you been a mechanic or had your shop open?
  • Will you give me an estimate?
If you ask these questions, you can ensure that you find the right mechanic for your needs. By doing so, you hopefully won’t get
stuck with a lemon
or have problems working with the mechanic and your
car insurance
company.
When it comes to relationships you can trust, the same is true for your car insurance company. If you feel like you’re overpaying, it’s a good time to shop around to make sure you’re getting the best rates. If you want help comparing rates, try using the
