THE CONTROVERSY BETWEEN AUTO MECHANICS AND THEIR CUSTOMERS

An auto mechanic is like a wizard when it comes to your car’s constant presence on the road. They can be as significant to the life of your car as a doctor is to your life. Whether you have a jalopy or a new vehicle, a good auto repair mechanic that takes good care of you and your car is worth their weight in gold.

Car parts and labour can be dear when you are getting your car fixed, so you want to make sure that you get the best deal that you can. You also want to be sure that the auto mechanic you use is honest and reliable.

In some cases you might find mechanics who want to make a little extra money and they may cut corners at the garage. This means that they may create more problems for an unsuspecting car owner by replacing a bad part with a used part.

Although this is illegal, some mechanics do this so that the owner will have to bring the car back again for the problem to be fixed. If a garage is known for doing something like this, word will get around. Sometimes an owner will tell mechanics to do this in order to make more money. If you find out that a shop has the reputation for these types of activities, it is not a good idea to go to that shop.

Many people are victims of these circumstances due to the caliber of mechanics we depend on to service our vehicles. Upon an interview with a taxi driver who had to bring his car for repairs at the Kotobabi auto mechanic shop, he lamented that, his car had been putting up the attitude of abnormal jerky movements while changing gears. Due to that, he had gone to the mechanic to deal with the malfunction.

Two months down the line, he is still chasing the mechanic for his car which cannot even roar to life, let alone breath. “This guy has demobilized me. Now am jobless. When I have a car sitting in his workshop. I don’t know what I will do to him. If I get hold of him. It’s not fair. Why couldn’t he tell me he couldn’t handle it”, he lamented.

Moreover, vehicles and technology are gradually evolving, and great mechanics stay on top of these changes so they can best serve their customers. Mechanics should be able to use variety of technical  tools to diagnose and address a wide variety of vehicular problems.
