Auto repair shops are known to provide a variety of different kinds of repairs to your vehicle, but they also provide several other great services as well. These services are often just as essential as auto repair, and help auto repair shops to meet more of their customers' needs. This article will discuss 3 less-common services that a car repair shop can provide for you.

Auto Sales

Many auto repair shops also sell automobiles on the side. They get many of their vehicles from people who bring their cars into be repaired and realize that they don't want to pay the cost of repairing the vehicle. At this point, the auto repair shop offers to purchase the vehicle from this person. If the person agrees, they then purchase the vehicle and perform all necessary repairs before selling it for somewhat of a profit. This benefits both the customers and the auto repair shop because the customers can buy or sell their car at the auto repair shop, and the auto repair shop can make some added income. 

Vehicle Registration 

Every year you need to get your vehicle registered, and every year you likely dread having to do this. However, auto repair shops can help make this process easier for you by offering not only vehicle inspection services, but also vehicle registration services. If all you need to get your car registered is a vehicle inspection, then you are going to be able to go to the auto repair shop to get the inspection, and if your car passes, they can then charge you for and print out your vehicle registration right then and there. This is going to save you a trip to the DMV and likely help you avoid a painfully long line.

Vehicle Rentals 

Auto repair shops may realize that you may not have another vehicle to drive when your own vehicle is being worked on. Because of this, many of them offer vehicle rentals for you to use while your car is getting fixed. They may have a variety of vehicles for you to choose from, such as a car, truck, SUV, or mini-van, making it easy for you to get the size and style of car that you need. This can make the whole car repair process much easier for you because you aren't going to have to spend any time looking around for a car rental service.
