Re: Am I getting ripped off? (Mechanic Tips Thread)
Find a nice Honda Dealship if you really want good service. I have found that if you go to a dealer with a real problem, they will be more expensive, but they will fix the problem, fix it right and won't screw you by making up other "problems"
Other than that, go with Pep Boys, or Midas, Firestone or some national chain. Again, you may pay more, but you don't have to worry about quality or getting shafted.
If you don't know alot about cars, it shows to any mechanic. If the mechanic is working for a living, he will try to get you to do everything he can think of. The guy at the dealer or national chain gets paid by the hour, so he doesn't need to make up problems.
Also, Check BBB on your dealer, you can find a lot of shady buisnesses there.
