When you are visiting an donate your car for the first time, do not get any major repair job done to your car. Go for a small job, such as an oil change, or maybe a tire replacement. Use this opportunity to make an informed guess of how good they actually are. Look around the office, and note the number of certificates you see hung up on the walls. Observe how neatly the equipment is stored around the office, and how sincere the technicians seem to be. This does not guarantee that you will get an excellent job done on your car, mind you, but it does show how seriously these people take their job.
When our car breaks down, and we do not have a favorite service location, we go into panic mode. We are so dependent on our cars; our first thought is how I will get to work tomorrow.

Without that favorite service shop, we search online for a place to take or have our car towed to. We call the shop and describe what the car is doing, or not doing. They say we need to take a look, and we are booked until next week. Now what do I do?
