Don’t be fooled
“Auto repairs are like a doctor’s diagnosis—a second opinion is something that should always be sought out,” wisely notes Ray Shefska of Your Auto Advocate. That’s because if you don’t know your way around under the hood, it’s incredibly easy to get taken for a ride. Sure, sometimes your car needs work and you might not have known there was a problem without your trusty and trustworthy mechanic. But sometimes, a simple trip to get an oil change or an annual inspection will result in a massive repair bill—all for services your car doesn’t actually need. Be aware of these common car-repair scams so that you’re prepared the next time you head to the shop. And don’t pay for these car problems you can easily fix yourself.
