Have you been the victim of an auto repair scam?

I am a mechanic myself and have never had my car in a mechanic shop. Once you know how to do most repairs by yourself, they all seem like a scam. Labor charges can be manipulated into more than they are supposed to be.At the mechanic shop I used to work at I was forced to charge a customer hundreds of dollars more than what I should have.

Use the internet to research how much certain jobs should cost and make sure your bill is similar. Also it helps to ask how much the job will cost before you send your car in. If they say its hard to tell until after the job is finished, they're lying.

Most of the time you can accurately say how much a certain job will cost.

Luckily for me Im a qualified mechanic :) but it does happen. It doesn't help going to a big garage either. In my opinion, big garages as part of a large chain scam people aswell as privately owned small ones.

Fortunately with so much information on the internet, even if you don't know a lot about cars, you can check online and diagnose faults yourself before taking it to a garage.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
