Forum / RAR Discusion Forum / Some Technicians or Mechanics are on commmission

Some Mechanics  or Technicians  are on commission!

Lets face it, how many car owners have the knowledge to make decisions on their car repair when the mechanic tells them that the dumihicey is bad and it is critical to their car safety and that you need to replace it for hundreds of dollars?

Bottom line we all have to TRUST that  mechanic to give us advice in our best interest, but if he is getting a commission.. well hey that's a real conflict of interest ....."who is really working for; certainly not me". 

I would just love to hear which mechanics bill out double parts and labor over other mechanics so I can avoid the high billing ones.

 I  look at the break pads every time the mechanic suggests that they are down to 3 millimetres and should be replaced. Then I ask him what percentage that is down from an  original brake pad? ....oh only down 50% or 60% .....meaning I can replace them in 6 months or more. Well the lets check them  again during the next 3 month servicing.!!

Brake Rotors, it seems that every time the mechanic is saying that I need to turn my rotors or you brakes will squeal. I have learned that rotors only seem to last 1-2 turns before you then need NEW rotors.

 70% of the time I look at the rotors they are smooth enough for me and I have yet to have them squeal as have ben promised by the technician.

When the dust settles I know i have saved 30% of my brake repairs over 30 years is ? $6,000 after tax dollars by not replacing them to early.

Whom do you trust for the right advise with your best interest first.

Now on the other hand if the shop would only take the responsibility to remind when to come back in to check the brakes.

I seems many shops claim well over 50% of all cars that come in for brake repairs left it too late and they do need new rotors because now they have big bolt scars in them.

We are asking all RAR shops to indicate the next servicing to prevent this and we will be able to text message you or email mail you your maintenance alert.
