How Not To Be Deceived At Car Repair Service

Really, how? Almost every motorist in our country is worried about this question. And even the car repair workers themselves are unlikely to undertake to predict what their unconscientious colleagues may have enough fancy. There is a widespread view that one should avoid small firms and only deal with official dealers. However, this, most likely, is a groundless statement. It is difficult to say where there is more chance of being deceived. In our country the main role in any business is played by the human factor. A dishonest employee may be in a major technical center and a small car service. Therefore, it is best to contact the master whom you know. But if there is no such possibility, it is necessary to take into account the most common methods of deception and try not to fall for them. The most primitive and, most likely, the most popular way is to exaggerate the severity of the breakdown. Example: you come to the service, complain about a knock in the suspension. The master conducts the diagnostics and discovers that the reason for the knock is the wear of some small gum. But on such a minor repair you will not earn much, and as a result you are billed for a full bulkhead of the entire suspension. The client in this case remains satisfied, because the knock has disappeared. In order to avoid unnecessary costs, do not skimp on the diagnosis. Make it in several services.

The next way is to take money to replace the parts, which, in fact, no one has changed. It is not easy to follow this. Do not you start to check when leaving the service, put on your car new candles or not. In this case, you can advise you to buy spare parts yourself, and do not trust this matter to the servicemen. After completing the repair, ask for your old spare parts. The excuse that they were thrown out, says that you are most likely deceived.

Do not rush to make a diagnosis yourself. If you just state your assumptions about the malfunction of a node, an experienced mechanic will gladly replace it, even if it is not necessary.

But it's not too suspicious to be. Very often, during repair, a malfunction is detected, which during the initial examination could not be detected. In this case, the price of repair, of course, will differ from the declared. But this does not mean that you are deceived.

It is much more difficult to be vigilant when you have to turn to the technical assistance service on the road. There is no choice, and one master will conduct the diagnostics and repairs. But by causing technical assistance, you can be almost certain that no one will do extra work on the street. Rather, on the contrary, it will be done so that the car can move as soon as possible and give a recommendation to go to the service. Perhaps the master of technical assistance will recommend to you some workshop or even offer to drive the car to him in the garage. Here already it is necessary to reflect. When you contact the technical assistance service, you need to remember one more rule: all spare parts are better to buy in the store, if, of course, there is such an opportunity. The detail that the mechanic will be offered to you may not be used, and he, if quite honest, will sell it without a huge surcharge, but it is better to have at least a check for the purchased spare part.

Here is a simple list of precautions that should be observed when communicating with auto workers. Of course, it is far from complete, but there is no universal means against the ingenuity of swindlers. We hope that your car will fall into the hands of true professionals. Good luck on the roads!
