Avoid being ripped off by a mechanic
Imagine this- you discover an issue with your car or your car has stalled.
You phone around for assistance and, next thing you know, you and old faithful are sitting in a service centre.
30 minutes later, your vehicle has been returned to you. You’re stoked! Then… The mechanic hands you the bill 😳 Eish. There’s a crazy high figure on it. It all seems a little suspicious considering that it barely took half an hour to repair…
Naturally, you ask for an explanation.
The next 10 minutes are spent listening to an in-depth explanation with terms you don’t understand. Your brain hurts. Essentially, you haven’t understood a word, but you want to go home, so you just pay the bill and get on with it.
Sound familiar?
I’m sure the above example sounds familiar to you… This type of situation happens frequently to car owners. Our knowledge of all things automobile-related just isn’t vast enough to figure out whether we’ve been ripped off or not.
Discovering that you’ve been taken advantage of can be an extremely painful lesson to learn.
