5 Lies Your Mechanic Told You — And How We Do It Differently
Let’s cut the crap—this industry has trust issues. And honestly? It’s earned them. I’ve heard the horror stories. You probably have too. So here it is—five bold-faced lies some mechanics tell, and why we don’t play those games.
Lie #1: “You need this replaced... immediately.”
Panic sells. Scare tactics work. But we don’t do fear. We explain the real urgency and give you options—not ultimatums.
Lie #2: “It’s a complicated fix.”
Translation? “I hope you don’t ask questions.” Not here. We break it down so you understand your vehicle. No jargon. Just truth.
Lie #3: “This is standard pricing.”
Standard for who? We don’t inflate parts or labor. We show you where every dollar goes. You work hard for your money—we respect that.
Lie #4: “Your car’s fine.”
If it were, you wouldn’t be here. Some shops ignore real issues to get you in and out fast. We dig until it’s right. Period.
Lie #5: “You don’t need to worry about it.”
Nah, princess—you deserve to know. Your car is your freedom. Your safety. You should worry. We’ll teach you enough to own that power.
At my shop, honesty isn’t a slogan—it’s the floor we stand on. You don’t walk in here to be talked down to. You walk in to be taken seriously.
So next time someone feeds you a line, remember—your mechanic should fix your car, not your trust issues.
