Of the shops they went to only two of the staff diagnosed and fixed the problem, without trying to pad the bill.

All seemed legit to me, I was a kid. Couldn't afford it so had the car towed home and called the ford dealership to schedule a second opinion and the guy on the phone said WTF, dude, it's your AIC valve, very common. Figured out what and where it was, $50 and 15 minutes. Now, I can tear apart and rebuild most vehicles.

[@oinchadoomandwolfboy]

Before I knew better, I had my 5.9 Cummins transmission built for $3500 from “a family friend.” (Scheer’s Automotive in Edmond, OK) He told me that the transmission will keep breaking and I need to get a new truck. A month later, it broke, again. I took it back to him under warranty. He told me that the particular part that broke wasn’t covered and that is need to put a new Jasper transmission in for $6500. I said no. If I want to pay $6500, I will have a true built transmission. I took it to DC transmission in Del City, OK. He took it apart and found that Scheer’s Automotive appeared to have just “quick fixed it.” DC Transmission replaced my torque converter, input shaft, clutch plates, the front drive shaft, and the transfer case drive chain for $1500, and gave me a 1 year warranty. I never had a problem again, not only that, I daily drove it on a 125hp tune. Can’t believe a “family friend” would have fucked me like that.

Same thing happened, no one in the front office and every one at a BS meeting. I worked for Goodyear in the late sixties and it is very sad to see how poor the service has become.

I said "My car has been running fine with regular plugs...the type of plugs it came out of the factory with...for more than a decade." and I added that if they pop the hood in front of me, and pull the plugs, if they were platinum I would pay them double.

[@sranjesuper]

actually, no that is called maintenance. I'm a mechanic and one of the most important things one can do to to keep their engines in great condition is to change plugs regularly. I always did on any car i owned and always benefited. Right now, i drive a 2012 C250 with a 1.8T gas engine, and i changed my plugs at 40,000km, even though the manu recommends it to be done at 60K. I can tell you that at 40k after changing my plugs, i noticed a nice increase in power and gas mileage. Why wait until its broken when you can keep it running at pristine condition always. It's not the right mentality with cars to wait until it's broken, especially ENGINES. Engines have to be maintained so carbon buildup doesn't happen, and that is done with good gasonline, regular plug changes, and frequent oil changes. I always recommend doing any service, sooner than what the manufacturer recommends, and i DO IT on my own cars, and i'm a mechanic for 10 years.

Yeah, the little girly ones that never bothered to even check their own oil or water or anything! Those aren't MEN!

your right

[@robertguzman3356]

Yea but who would the majority of the targets be? Most guys no the common shit about cars, there are a lot girls I've been around that don't know two shits about cars...lets not try and make it seem like being a girl in this sisutation isn't a bad thing

[@aangsmith7912]

mechanics and stealerships thrive on a persons ignorance. people should educate themselves a little so they won't get taken advantage of.

[@noexcuses9023]

Smartest thing to do is to take your car to the actual car dealership get a full inspection. Pay it get the entire issues and the qoute then go find another shop to find a cheaper deal. The dealership know your car perfectly so they will find exactly what's the problem.

[@kalel33]

I've seen too many friends who say they have a family mechanic that they've unconditionally trusted for years but I've found most of them to be ripoff artists like these guys. Most people's friends don't have a clue about cars and just trust their smiling mechanic. There's a reason why I do my own work on my car.

[@twobighands]

Just think of all the doctors out there that do the same exact thing. SCARY!!

Exactly! I have bad experience of similar kind both with doctors and dentists.

The mechanics industry is 90% full of scams i once took my 2005 Chrysler Sebring for oil change, which should cost only $20. and the mechanic told me that i needed to replace "the oil drain plug" because it was broken and could leak oil on the road, and he said it will cost around $260. The next day, i went to another mechanic for oil change, and he actually changed the oil without any issues, i even asked him was the drain plug broken, he said everything was fine. So i got my oil change done for $20. Then i went back to the previous mechanic and told him that he is a lying scumbag, and he said i never would have scammed my true customers, and i laughed and said fuck off and drove off

For everyone wondering. A basic service - Air filter - $15-25 Oil filter - $10-20 Battery test - a minute to test but $900 for the device. Better off getting a new battery. New oil (mostly we use 10w50 but it will vary with all cars) -$~50 for a few liters Testing the coolant - 10 seconds Topping up the water levels - a minute If the air filter is not dirty, we don't change it. We blow it and the case out with a compressor and put it back together free of charge, aside from labor cost. It takes a minute to lift the car up. a minute to unscrew the oil plug and filter. Maybe 10-15 minutes to drain it. Then a couple minutes to lower it, replace the oil, start it up, test the oil levels, clean the windows and boom its done. It will cost up to a few hundred dollars possibly. My point is you are literally better off to learn how to do it yourself. You will save thousands of dollars. You're welcome

[@bobr.6312]

We had a Goodyear store here, same set up. I took it in for some brake work...then drove to New York, when I got there, I was having 'SURPRISE' brake problems...they had incorrectly installed a new brake line...Given the age of the car, I doubt it needed it...but did not argue, I needed to leave. My Uncle owned the work shop, I am 'savvy' (have restored more than one car)... saw what they had done when it was up on the rack. I got the receipt and came back to Goodyear...got an argument and they got no more business...and lots of negative press. I also noticed they were not in business any more...same sorta bull roar.

So there we have it. The name Good Year is funny. Every year a company of thieves gets away with robbing their customers, is, I suppose, A Good Year!

[@Me97202]

These mechanics know that most customers are at their mercy.

[@MensaGiraffe]

In all of my years in having different cars worked on, I found the smaller shops are more honest. They don't need to compete for business, so they fix your car accordingly and have other cars waiting to be fixed. They don't need to make up fake work.

YOU ARE AWESOME! Putting those employees in their place is the best thing ever done. Same issue with Chevy Dealers - took my vehicle to replace a recalled switch. I am a mechanic by trade and decided to check the vehicle before dropping it off. The vehicle was running very smooth when I left it at the Chevy Dealership. Four hours later, I asked my wife to pick it up at the Chevy Dealership. To her surprise, the vehicle was running extremely rough, lack of power, and shaking. The Chevy Dealer told her that the car needed a full fuel line flash (what?), a tune-up (what?), timing belt (what?), spark plugs replacement (what?), and new plug wires (what?). The total estimate to get the vehicle running properly was $454.00. My wife told them that she was going to discuss it with her husband before doing any repairs. When she came home and told me what was going on, I checked the vehicle and noticed something wrong with it - a funny smell of fuel and engine misfiring. Decided to connected to the analysis equipment that I own and figure out within three minutes that two cylinders 4 & 6 were not firing at all. I told my wife no to worry. I went back to the Chevy Dealership to ask them to explain to me why such a small recalled relay replacement has caused engine issues and why such of repairs were needed to get the vehicle running correctly? At the same time, I explained to them that I was a mechanic myself and showed them the data analysis from my shop. The Chevy Dealer took the vehicle back into the garage, their mechanic FORGOT TO RECONNECT TWO FUEL LINE CORRECTLY causing the vehicle to misfire. Within 30 minutes the vehicle was brought to the front of the Chevy Dealership running smooth as a brand-new vehicle without any issues. I asked the Chevy Dealership about the rest of the required repairs to make the vehicle run correctly? They stated - it was a simple mistake. Additional repairs were not needed.

[@zeppelin67637]

The worst is when you are a mechanic. But you are 1000 miles from home, and you lose a water pump. I could argue all day with the shop I was towed to, but, it cost me a grand and a night in a hotel anyway. IF I had taken my tools along, I could have bought the 200 dollar water pump, and done it myself in the hotel parking lot lol. But, they know when they own you. You are at their mercy.

[@zeppelin67637]

This was in 96x and I was in a large unknown city. I don't know if they even rented tools then, and I had no idea where I would even start looking.

Before I knew better, I had my 5.9 Cummins transmission built for $3500 from “a family friend.” (Scheer’s Automotive in Edmond, OK) He told me that the transmission will keep breaking and I need to get a new truck. A month later, it broke, again. I took it back to him under warranty. He told me that the particular part that broke wasn’t covered and that is need to put a new Jasper transmission in for $6500. I said no. If I want to pay $6500, I will have a true built transmission. I took it to DC transmission in Del City, OK. He took it apart and found that Scheer’s Automotive appeared to have just “quick fixed it.” DC Transmission replaced my torque converter, input shaft, clutch plates, the front drive shaft, and the transfer case drive chain for $1500, and gave me a 1 year warranty. I never had a problem again, not only that, I daily drove it on a 125hp tune. Can’t believe a “family friend” would have fucked me like that.

[@jw11432]

I'm so glad I never had the money to take my car to a mechanic when I was younger and learned everything I did to fix any problem that came up on my vehicles. I hate to think what kind of costs I'd have had to endure had I not learned about cars. Invaluable knowledge to have, I can't recommend enough for people to learn how to repair vehicles. It's really not that complicated. Parts are made to fit (99% of the time) only one way. A good Haynes manual will get you there too to ensure you get the job done right. I started off not knowing the difference between a carburetor and a spark plug, and now I wouldn't hesitate to rebuild an engine or transmission (~15 years later).

[@jw11432]

[@noahpehowic6080]

Goodyear. I used to go to a local Goodyear shop in my town that my family trusted for a brake issue in which I felt a pulsating in the seat when braking and a chirping noise. They lubed behind the shoes, cleaned and adjusted the brakes, both of which were a few hundred dollars each, and the problem kept coming back. I eventually took it to a my local Honda dealership service center and they said it was because of a stuck brake cylinder and aftermarket brakes and recommended new Honda brakes. I was hesitant for a while but eventually decided that I wasn't risking forking out another couple hundred just to hope that the brakes would be fixed and let Honda put the brakes and new cylinder on. The brakes have never felt this good, and the parking brake used to go up really high, higher than it should, and now it only goes up half what it used to because of the new and right brakes. It's upsetting how Goodyear couldn't figure out what was wrong, even after hundreds of dollars of repairs that were essentially just putting a band-aid on the problem, but Honda spotted it immediately and made the brakes feel the best they've felt since I bought the car. Don't think I'll be going to Goodyear ever again, and not will my family.

[@roosterj2599]

I'm a mechanic and the shop I work for also has a used car lot. They have been in business for over 50 years. Family owned and operated. My boss showed me several instances where a shop could screw a customer over and over charge for lies. Our shop gets a lot of business from people who got screwed at other places.

[@darkeyce02]

I've had people try to tell things are wrong with my car or I need to do something that doesn't need done. I've had that happen even when selling cars.people try to point out fake problems. I don't look like I know cars but I do most the work on them that I can. Fun to put them in there place by telling them their full of it. The worst was a guy telling me the steel belts on my tires were showing so he wanted the car for 200 less. I asked several times what tires was it, ran my hand around them, he avoided my question over and over. Educate yourself if something is not working right, you may not find the exact problem by researching but you'll have an idea so your not blind when people like this are throwing out false things.

[@vince2997]

Lol whenever I get bored and have nothing to do on a weekend; sometimes I’ll go in for a problem and act dumb just to see what kind of bs these guys will make up then I start asking complicated questions in a dumb way and the look on their faces are priceless! 🤪😏

[@icyfire6879]

Ugh, these rip-off artists just burn me up!! Good on these ladies for exposing these scumbags!!!!

[@gswagsweigart]

Here we go again! Never...I repeat NEVER EVER, go to Pep Boys for service. I had an alignment done there and after about 2 months, my car pulled to the right. It was under warranty so I took it back there today. The "mechanic"??? tried to tell me that I needed a wheel bearing and an outer tie rod at a cost of $561.00. After I was done laughing at him I left. So I went to Ernie's Auto 452 & Meetinghouse Rd. "Your welcome Ernie" He checked my car & it only needed a tie rod, at $76 screw PEP BOYS!

[@blargblarghonk]

I've had an alignment done with a bad wheel bearing and it lasted a couple of months and I didn't expect it to even last that long. Also a bad tie rod can cause issues to. I've seen a car with 300 miles on it come in with a bad tie rod and the guy was expecting warranty. Nope. He had a cracked rim and evidence of smashing a curb. Customer pay on that one. It's not just mechanics that try to screw the customer. It's also the customer trying to screw the mechanic. It goes both ways. Also if you buy cheap parts expect them to break faster. Your safety is not worth the extra 30 dollars of savings for one part. I am a mechanic and I'm one of the most brutally honest ones. I hate working for dealers and these little shops like pepboys. All they say is up sell, up sell, up sell and it pisses me off. But being a mechanic I take the blame for shit I never even touched or had anything to do with the original problem. So it honestly goes both ways pretty bad. As a mechanic even an honest one I'm considered the bad guy for charging someone 100 dollars to put basically a new from end on a vehicle which is pretty cheap. I mostly became a mechanic because I love cars and working on them but it's just to much of a hassle to have everyone breathing down my neck all the time to get everything done quickly.

[@gswagsweigart]

Here's the thing, there's no bad wheel bearing. And even if it did the cost of replacing both would not come anywhere near that ridiculous price. The facts are you could take a brand new car pep boys weather wrong with it you want and we will end up saying they need other things when you don't it happens every single time every single person that goes there I wonder how many little old ladies go there member bank accounts drained simply because just don't know what's going on. Pretty much using scare tactics

[@gswagsweigart]

I apologize for the sometimes incoherent texting I'm using the voice recognition and as usual it's never accurate maybe my phone needs a wheel bearing... lol

[@blargblarghonk]

I'm just saying not every mechanic is a crook or lies. Some of us actually like to do things decent but we still get screwed to.

Aaaaaaaccctually about that throttle cable thing... I have a 1998 C1500 with a 350 small block. My throttle cable WAS cracked and I WAS aware about it. didn't think much about it until i had a trailer on the back and gave it some gas for a hill and the throttle stuck 3/4 open! so they are correct that the vehicle will speed up! but that is only assuming the cable gets frayed and a frayed wire sticks between the housing. so they aren't completely full of shit since it did happen to me.
