The associative garages make it possible to carry out all routine maintenance as well as small repairs to his car, for derisory prices. A truly economical solution.
Tired of spending a fortune on the maintenance of your car? Why not get your man to take care of it himself?
Since my husband and I discovered associative garages, we have become real fans! He is now the one who changes our pads and various filters, does the oil changes or changes the tyres.
The principle is simple:you go to the garage in question, which provides you with all the equipment, in exchange for an hourly rental. Here, for example, the hour of rental of the bridge and tools is charged at 10 €. Only the emptying is more expensive, with an average of 40 to 50 €.
Suffice to say that we are far, very far from the prices charged by garage owners! So, of course, it takes a bit of elbow grease, but considering the savings, I think it's well worth it, right?
A list (not exhaustive, I think) of these places is available on this directory of associative garages.
As for parts, all our purchases are made on the internet, with the exact references of the model in hand.
Personally, we are used to going to Oscaro. But I know there are other sites like Yakarouler or Mister-Auto that do the same thing.
In the end, whatever the repair to be done, the amount to be paid is between 2 and 3 times lower.
