Having a car is a mix of joy and terror. The freedom of driving anywhere anytime, except until a certain sound goes off and you start doing mental calculations on just how much it might cost. Some of these lights that might show up on your dashboard and you wonder just how long the vehicle will stumble on.

Add on top the fact that many mechanics are perhaps not the most honest individuals, and it’s easier to understand why so many people end up driving cars that hardly function properly. One survey found that the majority of Americans are not actually happy with their car service provider, as they feel like issues are overdiagnosed and fixes end up being overcharged.

The vast majority of mechanics are not liars. Car owners tend to underestimate just how badly their vehicle is doing. Or perhaps they drive a less commonly found, imported car, which means that any replacement pieces are more expensive then one might think. The real issue, ultimately, is that many drivers simply do not know the first thing about their vehicle and end up being taken advantage of.

Customer never popped the hood, it was left outside during the storm so looks like it was all the wind that absolutely piled up. And it was PACKED. left it to thaw overnight. Ran normal after everything was dry, no problems since.. a mystery to this day maybe they really did leave the hood open lol idk man"
