98% of All Car Repair Facilities Are Ripping You Off!
One of the hardest things for many to accept is the breadth and scope that the automotive service industry is ripping people off. They just don’t think it’s possible. It’s not just possible, it’s EASY! It's extremely difficult to even know it’s happening. While many of the abuses are blatant, it's the subtle charges that occur daily that slip under the wire. To be clear, local studies and two decades of close scrutiny from a network of industry professionals have revealed that 98% of all repair shops: dealerships, local shops, and franchises are price-gouging their service customers! What is price-gouging? Price-gouging in the automotive service industry simply means "paying too much for car repair prices." The automotive service industry has been price-gouging for decades, and it's getting worse. Due to the unique nature of service industry scams and tactics, following is a dictionary-style definition to clarify its abuses. In short, price-gouging is charging above industry guidelines. What's really scary is that many service centers don't even know that guidelines exist. How often does this happen? Industry guidelines are ignored, abused, and manipulated to maximize profits every day. Price-gouging is an accepted practice! It's hardly questioned, and rarely noticed. -Theodore P.
