Local tips

Ask for the written estimate the Florida repair act entitles you to before approving work

Get a second opinion on any repair over 1,500 dollars, especially transmission and engine work

Ask to see the old parts or a photo of the failure

Replace the battery proactively at three years rather than waiting for a tow from the beach
