Getting your car repaired in Puerto Rico
Having to get your car repaired is not a fun experience no matter where you are. The same goes for Puerto Rico. The vast majority of car repairs here will cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars just like anywhere else. Thankfully, the currency in Puerto Rico is no different than it is in America – the US dollar. Many places will also accept credit although few, if any will accept, checks for repairs unless you give them the check prior to the work being done.
In terms of where you can get your car repaired in Puerto Rico, you will be able to get it fixed at many garages through out the island. However, you need to be sure that you are near a populated area such as San Juan or Carolina because there will not be anywhere to get your car repaired in remote areas.
The benefit of using after-market parts to repair your vehicle
Car repairs are always a pain primarily because of how expensive it can be. Dishonest mechanics can make that issue even worse. That is why you should do whatever you can to keep the cost of your car repair as low as you can.
One of the lesser known ways that you can do this is by using after-market cars parts. These are parts that are either used or off-brand. So, they are not as expensive as a result. If you are able to use only after-market parts for your repair, you will be able to save a considerable amount of money on the repair. Sometimes, after-market parts can be three or four times cheaper than factory parts.
How you can get after-market parts for your car
There are two primary ways for you to get after-market parts to use for your automotive repairs. You can ask your mechanic to get them for you if you feel that they are honest or you can look on the web or in stores yourself for the after market parts that you need.
Getting after-market parts through your mechanic in Puerto Rico will come with a bit of a markup in price on the parts. However, getting the parts through your mechanic will save you a lot of time and effort. You will also still be saving a considerable amount of money even with the slight markup in price.
If you choose to go to Advance Auto Parts, AutoZone or look for an after-market part online, you will save additional money on the cost of the markup by the mechanic. However, you could possibly end up getting the wrong part if you do not know what you are doing or looking for. Even if you do know exactly what you are looking for, it will take a considerable amount of time and effort.
