It never leaked before, and it didn't leak going into their shop, but there was a big puddle under the car. I'm positive they messed around with the hose clamp. They quoted over $300 to make the repair. I brought the car home and replaced the hose clamp, it hasn't leaked since. Total ripoff attempt

It all comes down to the top heads in dealerships or chain repair shops = the very people who push their technicians to have an environment of sub-standards, placing their employees under stress, if they don't meet the criteria, then they are terminated.

I run a small chain of shops my father started 30 plus years ago and I see this all the time people bring me the quote from dealerships saying they need $1000 plus worth of work when in actuality they don’t even need work or they need minimum work done. The worst scam around me is firestone when they sell tires and include a “lifetime” alignment but when you go in for an alignment they try to sell them thousands dollars of front end work. I had a customer go to FS and they said no alignment because everything under the front end needed to be replaces. Customer came to us we looked at it and everything was damn near perfect. She went back to FS and they told her everything was bad again. It was a older lady and she called me from FS crying. I drove to FS and went to go look at her car on the lift when I walked in I spoke to the manager and had a small chat and when I left the finally did the lifetime alignment. She asked me what I told the manager and I told her the truth. The manager at FS brings all his personal cars to us to fix because he doesn’t trust the mechanics at firestone to fix his own car and he is the manager.

He was so good that he did not advertise or have a website! My secondary mechanic used to work for my retired mechanic for years and has owned the shop now for 4 years. He doesn't advertise. Conversely, last year I went to Costco for my "free tire rotation" and the "mechanic " failed to tighten the lug nuts and I had to call AAA. Costco also managed to strip my lug nuts over time and I replaced them.

True, But its because people are willfully ignorant. Learning the basics of car maintenance to at least keep mechanics honest is not a difficult thing. I work in asset management and its the same thing. People will do anything to NOT learn about their car or finances in general. There is some sort of taboo in America and the general population think that car repair work is beneath them and finance is something you pay an "expert" to handle. Guess what? We're in the middle of a market crisis as it has dropped 30% this year due to COVID-19. Last year, none of my family members wanted to hear a word about finance or investing from me. I decided to move 90% of my 401k to bonds because an election year was coming and I was happy with the returns I had over the years. The bull market had to end at some point and we all know the market was propped by Trump's corporate tax break in 2017 and company buy backs. What happens this year? I'm up 2% YTD and a family member comes to tell me he's down 20%. He's 57 years old and this is costing him dearly. Imagine this guy has a $500k-$1mm retirement account balance. He just lost $100k-$200k!!!! But hey, that's the American way, we don't worry about things that we can pay someone else to do. To clarify, I work in the industry but I'm not a financial advisor so I don't benefit by talking to people about investments. Anyway, its a sad state of affairs and the goons that run these shady shops know it. American people are lazy by nature and will continue to fall prey to scams.

I took our car, years ago, to a shop that a friend of my husband worked at. The mechanic insisted that I really needed a steering belt, or it could fall off on my way home. He was that direct. Problem was, I was getting some kind of fluid I needed . . . and the car had JUST had some major work done on it, by my husband and the aforementioned friend. This included having several belts (yes, and the steering belt) replaced. I drove home, and then let "Mark" hear all about how his "friend" had tried to gyp me on parts. I was NOT happy.

But they also sometimes don't charge me labor if it takes less than 15 minutes, and only charge about half or a third of what the dealership wants.

I remember going to Jiffy Lube and getting a radiator flush and oil change years ago. Just after that my radiator sprung a leak and had to be replaced. They wouldn’t admit fault even though they did admit to using s new piece of equipment for flushes that they had just gotten. They wrote a check for only half the amount AND a “free oil change” coupon. It wasn’t worth going to court, and the coupon went as a birthday gift to a boss I didn’t really like. Never been there since.

@Giggidygiggidy12 4 жыл бұрын

Okay Scotty you need to clarify a few things. Tire shops usually charge between $15-20 per tire to mount, balance, and offer free rotation for life, that includes Costco. The tires come with a mileage warranty which we all know, only prorates part of the cost of the replacement should it wear too quickly or if there's a defect; but it does not cover uneven wear, damage or punctures. So most shops will sell an addl warranty that offers free replacement if it cannot be fixed or patched or fails for any reason, mfg will not honor that. Now $190 is steep maybe $80 or so would be fair for a set of four new tires. And no I do not work in automotive repair or tire sales but I have used my purchased extended tire warranty three times and got basically two new replacement tires for little to no cost I would have been out of pocket for without the separate warranty. Like insurance may be worth it may not. But if you need it you'll be thrilled you got it

There’s tons of things that can be passed off as: “it’ll be fine” “I’ll keep an eye on it” “it’s an old car” “I’m getting rid of it soon” As a mechanic it’s our job to inform the customer about potential problems, safety, reliability and neglected maintenance.

It had a very slight miss when cold and a dirty air filter. She ended up selling the car for $300 dollars to a car lot because they said it needed 1800 dollars worth of work. The car lot was just as bad and handily bought the perfectly fine nova was basically swindled from an old lady who didn't know any better for 300 dollars.

Every time I see stuff like this it makes me so glad I do all my own vehicle maintenance/repairs.

I stared doing everything myself for this very reason. A Mazda dealer wanted $300 to replace a headlight just because a 5 dollar bulb went out, lol.

Scotty: “you could even polish em with toothpaste!” Me: “you had my curiosity, but now, you have my attention”

that's about a 40 year old trick. goes all the way back to the first set of plastic headlight covers. they've ALWAYS fogged up like that. cheap clear plastics ALL do that when they react to sunlight and the heat and light from the bulbs.

If someone else has to tell me when to replace my tires, i deserve to be ripped off. It's not rocket science, It's not like you need tools or skills to figure that out.

Tyre depth gauge is fairly useful in my experience, one lives on the motorcycle keys. But we have a defined legal limit and minimum here in the inspection.
