How Some Mechanics Scam Vehicle Owners

Some mechanics will trick unsuspecting car owners into getting unnecessary and expensive repairs done to their car. These mechanics will “discover” a “problem” somewhere and convince the customer that it needs to be fixed now.

Here are some examples of how mechanics scam their customers:

  • Some car dealerships use safety recalls as a way for them to perform additional unnecessary work on your car, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Many car owners have reported that these dealerships refused to fix the recall unless they performed additional, needless repairs, which cost the owner more money.
  • Mechanics will use confusing industry terms in an attempt to trick you into thinking your car has a problem.
  • Mechanics may use counterfeit or used parts, then charge you for the price of a new part. This bogus part may damage your car. Before long, you’ll be back in the shop with more repairs.
  • You also want to be aware of padded charges. This is where mechanics will offer additional unnecessary repairs that will show up on your final bill, jacking up the price. Repair shops may also leave the estimate amount blank on the bill and fill in the amount once you signed off on it.

If your car is on its last legs, avoid these repairs and scams. Instead, save your money and sell your junk car to the experts at Gershow Recycling. They will tow away your vehicle for free and pay you cash on the spot. The Long Island junk and auto salvage company has helped preserve Long Island’s environment for over five decades, while putting cash back into the pockets of hardworking Long Islanders.

They treat me well
I've sold two cars to gershow. The first time I called, they came the same day! Both transactions were smooth and both drivers were incredibly kind! I was surprised by their generous offers on both vehicles. Made a difficult decision so much easier for me. There is no other place on LI that I would ever consider selling a junk car to. Thank you, gershow!

Her trading work is done with a level of expertise that can only be learned with years of experience at the highest levels. I was blown away by the ingenuity and thoroughness of strategy. I went in knowing 0 about online trading but Mrs Kelly Robert walked me through every step of the process. I made $7000 in just five days of trading, Don’t just recommend, I highly recommend.

The process for having my vehicle picked up went very smoothly, from start to finish. Employees were kind and professional.
But I really came to post about the driver who came to pick up my vehicle, in hopes he will see this. His name is Kitt, and he was one of the kindest, and most compassionate human beings I’ve ever met. It was a very emotional decision for me to make to have my car taken, and circumstances out of my control made it unbearable. Kitt stepped in and did everything in his power to make sure that I was okay. He was respectful, very well mannered, and you can tell that he is a very loving person.
Thank you, Kitt, from the very bottom of my heart, for coming today.

Been doing business with Gershow for 17/18 years always been fair to me wouldn’t go anywhere else
I have been seeing different post about Mrs Anita Crypto Fx everywhere and a lot of traders keep on saying reach out to her, I eventually did and it turns out to be legit. I did an initial investment of $1000 and I received a surprised profit of $15,250 after 6days of trading, I followed her instructions with which i invested and within a week I got back my profit, I started seeing good results. Last week l made a successful withdrawal. Just stop worrying she will help you out. Thank you very much Mrs Anita. I would advise anyone seeing this post to contact her, I am responsible for the content I post here on Facebook, I am so serious about this you can inbox her directly via:
