Hatfield Toyota wants all drivers to get trustworthy services from their mechanics. If you see any of these signs, then you should probably start looking for someone else to take care of your repairs and maintenance.

 

He Won’t Explain Charges or Services

A reliable mechanic will take time to explain what he needs to do to your car to get it working well again. He should also feel comfortable explaining how much each service and part costs. After all, you’re paying him to perform a service. You deserve to know what that service is.

 

He Doesn’t Offer Money-Saving Tips

Contrary to what some people believe, not all mechanics are trying to get every possible penny out of every client. In fact, good mechanics try to help their customers save money by addressing small problems early before they turn into big, expensive problems.

 

You don’t want a mechanic who’s only interested in doing one job for you. You want a mechanic who’s looking to keep you as a reliable customer for life.

 

Charges Change Erratically

If you get regular maintenance from a garage, then you should expect about the same charge each time. If the price of an oil change jumps erratically, then you know your mechanic isn’t trustworthy.

 

He Laughs When He Hands You the Bill

This guy isn’t even trying to hide his intentions. If he’s laughing to your face when he hands you the bill, it’s time to do more than find a new mechanic. It’s time to call the Better Business Bureau and the General Attorney’s office.
