Looking for vehicle breakdown services in Colombo? Let’s start from the beginning. What is a “vehicle breakdown”? It is a mechanical, electrical failure of a motor vehicle that renders the said vehicle either completely unusable or very difficult to use at all, more often than not this means that such vehicle is actually dangerous to use. Car mechanics usually talk about two types of breakdowns, partial and complete.
The partial breakdown, in simple words, is when a car is still somewhat drivable. For example, a punctured tire or brakes failure. But partial breakdown can be a very dangerous situation for you or your wallet. Automobiles are made of metals and give you a high sense of safety, they are sturdy and rigid. Until they are not, because you drove it down a steep street without brakes.
A partial breakdown can make you think that it will be fairly easy for you to just drive it to a car repair shop and everything will be just fine. And when your mechanic inspects it awards you with a look of disappointment on their face. Why? Because by driving it you have increased the damage to your car, and now instead of having to pay an affordable and reasonable sum, you might face a repair bill equal to a decent second-hand vehicle. So, your only solution is to call a repair shop and get it towed away to a specialized garage. Or is it?
In Sri Lanka, there is some 7 million motor vehicles. And one can reasonably expect that during a single year there is between 700 thousand and a million breakdowns. And that’s why you can find quite a few vehicle repair shops around the island, especially in and around Colombo, largest city and home to the high percentage of vehicles. But now all are made equal.
So your vehicle has broken down in Colombo?
First, let’s talk about how vehicle repair usually works. At the very beginning, your vehicle gets broken down, some part fails or something like that. Then you either drive it to a shop or get someone to tow it. If you tow it to a shop you need to pay the towing bill. Usually, it is not some very large amount, but let’s face it, it is more than it’s worth.
Once your car is at the shop if it is some obvious problem you will get quoted on the spot for its repair. But if it is something less apparent you will be told that the diagnostic will take some time. Usually the next day, you will be informed of what is broken and that it will cost this much, but also that there are some more issues with your vehicle and how it is important that you get them fixed as soon as possible, and how they will be happy to do it for you, even though it will double or triple the original repair costs estimate. Then you will be told how long you need to wait for repairs. After that amount of days has passed, more often than not, you will call the shop to be told that they are still waiting for some part. Horror, because you need your vehicle to get to work and from work, or maybe it is your work and livelihood.
To be honest, most often the waits are not caused by malice, but because of shop owners who either take too much work on. And also there is that old adage that one shouldn’t refuse a customer because they will refuse him.
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
