car tune up

with Vincent Ciulla


Book Review: "What your mechanic doesn't want you to know"

According to a poll I took, almost half the respondents stated that they did not trust their auto mechanics. I was a little surprised at this high number. I know finding a good, honest auto mechanic can be difficult, but I found it hard to believe that a person would trust their vehicle to someone that they don't trust.

Recently I read a book called Honest Mechanic by Austin Davis. This 142 page E-Book is a wealth of information based on his personal experience as a Service Writer in his family-owned shop. In his ebook he details many ways people can prevent rip-offs and what they can do to lower their car repair bills. He tells about tricks of the trade and insider secrets that dishonest auto mechanics are using to cheat the public.

Some of the chapters include:

  • What to REALLY look for when trying to find an honest mechanic

  • How to profitably sell your current car

  • Are you paying brand name prices for no-name parts? You could be.

  • How to deal with an insurance company after an accident--and WIN!

  • How to inspect a used car for purchase--great advice here!

  • Are you really prepared for an accident

  • Myths And Mechanical Wisdom revealed in a simple approach

  • Car tune ups, what does "tune up" really mean

  • many valuable links to some of the best little known automotive sites on the Internet

  • How to help protect yourself against fraud

  • and MUCH more in this extremely useful e-book.



Easy to use free maintenance schedules and a used car check list available on his site that you can download and print out. Also comes with explanations of each recommendation!

Some of the tips in the book include:

"Be wary of loss-leader specials. These are advertisements for services at irresistibly low prices that are designed to entice you into the shop. Once there, the shop will need to sell extra services to make up for the "freebie" service that brought you in the door. You will usually end up paying more for the add-on ticket items than you would have at a reputable shop. Unfortunately, the customer with the 12-year-old car in poor condition who wants a $29.95 car tune up that will "cure" the car's major problems will be taken advantage of the most. Why? These people are on a strict budget and will try very hard to find the cheapest price available regardless if it will actually help solve their repair problem or not. They will usually bounce around from shop to shop in search of a low price and in the long run will probably end up paying a higher price for all of these services that they searched for."

And:

"The price that competitors will quote over the phone is often cheaper than the actual car repair-just to get you in the door. They know you are calling for a price comparison, and will deliberately adjust their initial quotes to get your business. Although there is nothing wrong with doing this, the shop may adjust the prices back up once they have won your confidence, or until you start calling other shops for more price comparisons. Sometimes the customer is his own worst enemy."

It is written in a very clear and concise manner that a layman will be able to understand without difficulty. This book is a wealth of useful information that anyone with a car repair needs and will surely pay for itself many times over.
