How to avoid deception in the repair store
Motorautocar and Aarp have tips from east to followers to avoid deception by a repair store.
- Motorautocar suggests a request to see parts that have been replaced or see old fluids after being replaced. If the store says that this is impossible or rejects, this may be a sign that it was not done.
- Ask from walking from the repairs made. Most mechanics are happy to show you what happened in the store. While wandering, search for evidence of reforms such as the cleaning area, bright new parts, or tools, or tools out or near, etc., etc.
- Before taking your car, look at other customer reviews on Google, Yelp or Facebook. Many customers review the company only if they have negative reviews, so stay tuned.
- For expensive repairs, consider obtaining multiple opinions. If two to three identical repair stores are suggested, this is likely to be true.
- Test a new store with simple problems you realize to see if she adds anything to the repair bill.
- If possible, bring someone to the store that knows about cars to make it double or read a repair bill.
- Get everything on paper. It is not only important for your repair records, but it can help you protect you if legal measures are necessary.
