As a shop owner the best advice I can give is find a shop you can trust ,get referrals from friends stop looking for the lowest prices and look for value.Do regular maintenance don't drive your car until it's falling apart and when told you need a lot of repairs be surprised that it cost so much.The worst scams I see come from the National chain stores and dealerships where mechanic is paid commission.
Hard to find a good mechanic. I’ve known only 1 or 2 honest mechanics in my lifetime. The guy I’m working with now, not a friend but friend of the family, I think he’s been taking me for a ride. Doesn’t provide receipts of the parts. Don’t know if he’s even properly diagnosing a problem. Probably just goes “Let’s replace the fuel pump, see if that’s the problem” ... and I’m the moron giving this guy my money.
Best thing to do, is learn something about the things you own.. You don't need to know everything.. Just learn how basic parts work and how they fail.. Learn basic maintenance.. That includes Cars, Refrigerators and plumbing. Just the costly things.. Cheap TV's and cheap things don't matter.. It's always cheaper to get a new one..
Someone tried to do that to my friend once, had to book the car in, which would be R2000 and that's not even the repairs yet. But when he told her she's not allowed to fill up her water tank herself I told her to call her dad. He wanted a constant customer to come in every time the water tank was empty and she'd have to pay him for that. Her dad told us to get the hell out of there
I'm a guy, and was once scammed by the dealership where I purchased my car (many years ago, and dealer no longer exists). I took the car in for routine maintenance, and had to have a full brake job because 'the brake pads fell out' when they inspected them - work was done without authorization, and the car was kept 2 days. When I got the car back, I immediately noticed that the driver door was NOT mine as the controls were scratched! They of course denied anything happened. I never returned there.
So many people in this comment section obviously didn't understand the video, so here, let me explain it better for y'all; The guy behind the register isn't an actual mechanic. What they're doing here is showing how shops use the ignorance of their customers to rip them off. THEY'RE NOT ACTUALLY CHARGING THE CUSTOMERS FOR WHAT THEY'RE QUOTING THEM!!!
I work at a Big O tire store, that also does heavy repairs, in the mid-west and it sickens me to know how easy this is done and how often it is done also! I think the few bad seeds ruin it for everybody because we treat everybody with integrity and honesty at the Big O Tires location that I am employed at, but because of the bad apples, many times, customers still aren't satisfied and don't have the confidence in their purchase to be happy with it also. And this problem is very sad to see. There is definitely a lack of professionalism in the automotive industry, and it should be dealt with, with the strongest arm of the law. Because this fraud taking place is sickening. Fraud is theft with a smile.
Just had a small oil leak took to shop who had great reviews they say oh its your rear main $3000 to fix. Turns out it was just the little washer on the oil drain plug a $12.00 part !
Most of these items are observable failures, you can inspect the part by grabbing it, trying to move it, or see wear in some way. I NEVER allow work to be done, unless I see a damaged part, or hear, or smell something wrong. Everyone should require some proof, before work is done. Have your mechanic look it over, point to the part, and show you the problem. Tire scams are the easiest to spot.
Second repair. Again, it depends on the severity of the damage. If the headgasket is badly leaking, then YES it will cause damage to your engine. If your cylinder head or entire engine is damaged, then it's an expensive time consuming job to fix. 800 dollars to replace e headgasket, factoring in labor costs, seems rather reasonable. Some engines it's a straightforward easy job, others like V6 minivans, it's a major job
1:58 Those reactions are so fake. I have been in a waiting room when the counter guy told a customer his brake job would cost about $1000. You know what he did? He pulled out his wallet. He didn't pretend to puke. And, seriously? $500-600 for two outer tie rods and four tires is CHEAP! That's just a little bit more than the cost of the parts alone!
I think it's fair to say that 90% or more of the population honestly has no clue about cars and I'm specifically including the jackasses out there saying "aha I caught you that price is outrageous!"
I've been to good shops and bad and I remember how much pressure they put on me when I was really young with my first truck. I knew nothing and just came in for an alignment and new it had some minor issue with the driver control arm. They told me I had 2400 dollars worth of front end suspension work. I didn't want anything to do with that truck I felt disgusted with it. I also was ignorant to vehicles, so what was I suppose to do? He'll I didn't spend that money... I literally couldn't. My truck had 158k miles then. And is still going 240k miles today and strong. Now it's finally getting old and "actually,"needing suspension work. It needed work back then and it needs work now, the point is sometimes they pressure you into getting it down RIGHT THIS SECOND! When it could last a lot longer than you think. Now I know a lot more about vehicles and I plan to fix my little chevy s10 up and get her to 300k. I've bought many vehicles for cheap and now I'm collecting 90's vehicle to early 2000's and love every learning experience I get even if it does piss me off when a car I just fixed up starting leaking green :/. But thats how you learn... look it up and fix it yourself. Buy multiple cars so you can do this. Learn a fix once and it's an investment, but pay some one to fix it once and you will pay for it again.
Always get a second opinipn? That's throwing money down the drain! If you bring your vehicle in, we charge a diagnosis fee. Why? Because we get paid for the labor we perform, not by the hour! Meaning we're not going to waste our time for nothing. However, if you choose to get the repair done that day or even weeks from now, that diagnosis fee GOES TWARDS YOUR PURCHASE!!! You go somewhere else, you lose money.
Fraud happens in every trade or profession if we don't do our homework. And this little device is very limited, a good scanner is needed to read all codes and access all modules. This is advertisement to sell this useless thing.
How hard is it to just be a good and honest mechanic? I just don’t get it. Why can’t these guys be completely transparent and keep happy customers coming back as opposed to f***ing them in the ass, making money off them for a short time, and then losing a very unhappy customer. I don’t get nor will I ever get it.
I already had a real ID on my drivers license, since my license expired I paid $37,- to renew my license, DMV removed my real ID sign of my class C license, and mailed me a regular class C license, so I to visite DMV in person they charged me another $30,- to switch back my original drivers license with real ID sign on it , this is a real fraud, and new ways to rippingoff seniors in California ???
Enough of seeing how these Sabatoging low life so called "mechanic" rip, men and women off, even purposely balancing your tires incorrectly so your steering wheel shakes violently inorder to sell you unnecessary suspension parts ( whuch most the time aren't even installed) What can be done that it doesn't suck the life out of you trying to get these jerks to be forced to stop or be shut down and fined??? Is this "Fraud"? which is a "crime" and why are the officials not involved? ? The heck with complaining. I want to see an arrest!
The third one seems like the truest ripoff. Two worn outer tie rods would only wear out your front tires, not all four. However, the quoted cost of 500-600 is reasonable for replacing 4 tires, 2 tie rods and labor. Tires aren't cheap and neither are the labor rates at most repair shops.
But as Anderson said, you would be wise to get a second opinion before spending large amounts of money on any car repair. Furthermore, if the mechanic or repair shop seems angry that you want a second opinion, then don't even consider going back there
I am disgusted by mechanics that rip off women, but honestly IMO the repairs shown in this clip don't seem all that bad. For example, the first one. Bad lower control arms probably mean worn lower ball joints and bushings, worn tie rods mean your wheels can move around left to right when you're driving in a straight line. Depending on how bad those parts are worn, it might not be a good idea to drive the vehicle until they are repaired. An alignment is always recommended after those are fixed
So you're portraying mechanics to be scam artists? As a mechanic at a Dealer, I am very upset by this.. Occasionally, yes, I may recommend a little as we call "fluff," but at that point you should think about changing certain fluids and cleaning certain parts at 100,000 miles.. Not all mechanics are out to scam people.. Especially at dealership's. We enjoy having a good name our customers can trust with vehicles.. I don't understand why we are seen as assholes who only wanna take your money. But also understand, most of us, like myself, get paid piece work and have families to feed, just like you do. It's a hard living as a mechanic.. We need to eat too.
Its no wonder this happens , especially when you have people with mechanical issues on their car to an auto body place , I happen to know that auto body men like to play mechanics and do the wrong job , my expertise in this is my older brother has been a liscensed auto body repair man for nearly 45 years and myself have been a liscensed auto mechanic for 40 years , by the way , I have often told my customers if they end up somewhere cause im not available and get these types of scare tactics is to take their cars back and wait for me or at least get a different opinion
How do you know it’s a lie I am a technician and all the stuff he listed is accurate if they provided pictures of what’s bad and how to prove it then it’s not a lie people always think I’m trying to rip them off with state inspections it’s called a safety inspection for a reason and if your tire rods have more movement than Micheal Jackson then you need to replace them or if your tires are at the 2/32 wear bars they should be replaced
i know this is just an act but what if doctors and other medical staff do the same thing. of course the people will believe it. the trust that we give to "proffessionals". how would mechanics feel if all customers say let me see how youll fix it, let me watch you solve the problem can i stay here to see how well you repair my car
How is telling someone they need four tires and a couple of tie rods ripping them off ? And then he further says he wouldn't take it on a long trip. Now granted, we as viewers have no idea of the actual condition of these parts but let's pretend they are bad. Is the mechanic or service writer in this case suppose to sugar coat it ? If it's bad it's bad. You gotta remember something when it comes to owing a car, it's gonna break. There is no point getting pissed off at the shop or mechanic. They didn't build it, they didn't buy it, and they're certainly didn't break it. You did. If you think they are ripping you off, go somewhere else. This is not rocket science. If I'm shopping for a new TV and I see one I like, I'm going to shop around for the best price. Common sense. If you lay out thousands in repairs to your car, especially to a shop you have never been to before, you're an idiot.
Yeah I've heard all the BS before.....But I also know how to take them to Court. I dont have the same experience they do which is experience in lying....I have work experience with the police 😉 and I grew up with men who could do any type work including working on cars 😁.......But I might just tell the mechanic hold on I want you to repeat that after I hook you up to the lie detector 🤣🤣🤣
isn't this like... helping scam artists learn how to do this stuff better? like ya, it IS showing people how easy they can be taken advantage of so that instills this idea to not trust any mechanic,.. but then where do they go if they can't do it themself? they gotta take it somewhere.. but... mechanics can also watch this and just as easily be like, OH just tell them hey i'm looking out for you, i recommend you leave it here, its gonna be safer, we're trying to protect you, yada yada. this is why having AAA is great, free tows from shop to shop to get second opinions, just in CASE that outer-flange-boot-axle-synchronizer that is going to ruin your motor is actually in need of repair. (yes i know thats not a thing)
+Dustin Smith Shady mechanics already do this, truly good mechanics won't. A mechanic that is honest isn't going to become dishonest because they see the things that are ruining their reputations.
People in general are dumb. No one nowadays learns or researches the things they buy. I couldn't fathom spending 20-50 thousand dollars on a vehicle and know nothing. Or question them jesus. If someone tells me they need 800 dollars of my money I'll make them show me or prove it. Idk about where yall live, but where I'm from our store participates in the MAPS program. If a customer asks to see their old parts you have to show them.
I think, seriously.. an I know I'll get some hate for this.. Women should learn a thing or two about cars! The way I see it is, you wouldn't operate a welder or a tractor without knowing a thing or two about how they work. Women have these cute little female oriented cars that they just use everyday but have no idea how or why they work. Whatever they look like on the outside they're all still machines with combustion engines. It would be so good if you had to pass a basic mechanical knowledge test to be allowed to own a car.
you know that is general statement quite a few women are gear heads but like men not everyone knows about cars..there is just a higher percent of women who don't know enough about cars...so it is less of a gamble
Ellie5621 that's nice, chain stores are going to charge you for basic stuff anyways, your better off with smaller shops since a lot give more bang for your buck sometimes and you can sometimes talk them down to a better rate or they throw some free stuff in your direction to keep your patronage. But again it depends on where you go.

that guy is a terrible actor
not really he seemed great; let me guess u were a wannabe actor that no one gave the time of day so you can to youtube to let out your frustration
@@nicky191 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nick Y nah you’re just a bad judge of acting. He wasn’t great

I would recommend become a knowledgeable about cars that's the only way.
Don't people ask the mechanic to show them what needs fixing? If a boot was effed surely you would see oil and visible damage.
most use the excuse that the car won't start and we can't allow customers in the back cause it's a safety issue
I have a great mechanic who not only is trust worthy but at times undercharges and I must force money on him.
I dont know how to explain what i really want to say but i need to say thank you.
no such fucking thing,liar

mike hunter you can buy a 10 pack of those washers at AutoZone for $4.00.
Maybe even less through Amazon.

400 dollars is about right.

I think it's fair to say that 90% or more of the population honestly has no clue about cars and I'm specifically including the jackasses out there saying "aha I caught you that price is outrageous!"
1:29 Is a perfect example. The salesmen was probably right and the "experts" are totally wrong.

Its not just women ive been ripped off plenty of times. They will tell you its dangerous and they cant let it go is a big sign.
We have to replace your muffler bearings, cost is $750.
No control, they didn’t see if men get scammed the same way. They didn’t find proof of the parts/labor not needing done.
Always get a second opinipn? That's throwing money down the drain! If you bring your vehicle in, we charge a diagnosis fee. Why? Because we get paid for the labor we perform, not by the hour!

i live 5 mins from that place

How about car dealership?
That is the place where people get ripped off the most.

I don't see how 2 LCA's and two outer tie rod ends and an alignment costs 800$. Unless you're using like, OEM equipment on a 2013 car.
ive driven with blown head gaskets for weeks... not a good idea but keep extra coolant with you.
Very stupid do not take this advice
You can't get a second opinion but what if the second opinions is worser than the first one.

I think, seriously.. an I know I'll get some hate for this..
Women should learn a thing or two about cars!
The way I see it is, you wouldn't operate a welder or a tractor without knowing a thing or two about how they work.
Women have these cute little female oriented cars that they just use everyday but have no idea how or why they work. Whatever they look like on the outside they're all still machines with combustion engines.
It would be so good if you had to pass a basic mechanical knowledge test to be allowed to own a car.
you know that is general statement quite a few women are gear heads but like men not everyone knows about cars..there is just a higher percent of women who don't know enough about cars...so it is less of a gamble

But again it depends on where you go.
