The majority of car mechanics are not in the business to rip of car owners but most people think they all are. Before you get your car looked at, be aware of the scams to save yourself from hassle and a headache. Taking a trip to the mechanics can be a nervous task itself for even the most accomplished driver because you’re probably thinking you’re going to get conned. You’re not the only one, lots of drivers feel the same way as you. It’s been estimated that nearly £2.4 billion have been taken from unknowing UK motorist who have visited car mechanics which was found by Motor Codes.Watchdog which is a popular TV shows conducted a story and found that staff at a leading chain of mechanics are charging for unnecessary repairs. Bent mechanics have many scams up their sleeves, so you need to look out for other ones. Don’t let your mechanic take advantage of you if you think you’ve mis-fueled as this is not a hard fix to do. The car needs flushing to get the wrong fuel out which is only a small cost.

Avoid scams by knowing your car warranty and what you’re entitled to. This occurs when garages con drivers into thinking that if they use independent garages then the warranty will be void. To avoid dissapointment, make sure you always use standard manufacturer parts. A minority of garages will trick you into getting a free check up but what they are really doing is reeling you in to then say you, need to replace/fix this when in fact there is no need. Customers can know what they are getting from their mechanics by following the working code for garages: Asking for permission before they continue any extra work for the car. Get a clear price which doesn’t change if you agree to any work. Only leave the garage if you’re happy with the work and you feel good about it.
