Mechanics will cut corners, dealerships will lie to you, auto shops will cheat their customers, and used car lots will overprice. This is the public's average opinion of these establishments. Mechanics will do a sloppy job on your car, leave jobs unfinished, and create more problems so you have to bring the car back for more work. Dealerships will tell you the car you are looking at runs well, but neglect to inform you the car was already totaled in an accident.
Auto shops will not mention the hundreds of dollars in hidden charges and disposal fees until it is time to pay. The used car salesman, eager to make his commission, will tell you anything you need to hear to get you to pay the price he wants. Of course, not all automobile-related establishments are like this. But why do these places have such a negative stereotype following them around? The history of the used car salesman and auto repairman is not a pretty one. Cars are expensive commodities.
Americans have been driving cars for a long time, and today most of America owns or operates a car. Because of this there is much money to be made from selling and servicing cars. Wherever there is money to be made, there is a way to squeeze a little more out of people. They could make many car parts from more expensive, indestructible materials that would last 3 to 5 times longer than parts currently available,
but the parts that break more often mean parts that are replaced more often.
This transfers to more money for the company that manufactures the part and more money for the technician who installs it. Through this practice of make em so they break em, quite a racquet has been established on the fact that people buy cars out of necessity. So how do we differentiate between those who are capitalizing on salty practices, and who is genuinely here to give us friendly service at the best price possible? The truth is in the promotion.
An auto service center or dealership that prides itself on the quality of service and low prices it provides knows fully well how dirty the opposite end of the spectrum is. These shops hate the cheaters and liars in their field the most, as they give other shops this negative stigma. These are the shops whose websites are plastered with promotions of 100% customer satisfaction and tremendous cost savings.
When an automotive service goes the extra mile to convince you they are friendly, professional, and offer the lowest prices, they will probably go the extra mile to prove it. Customer testimonials and positive feedback not only promotes their store, it brings those customers back again and again.
Being on the lookout for shady sales and repairs is recommended, yet somewhat difficult. An easier task is simply to be on the lookout for friendly faces promising friendly prices and complete satisfaction.
