you could learn alot from this clip. some people think dealerships are Auto Repair GODS, but really they are just crooks. that's the reason i don't go to dealerships, i have my own shop to take it to. no labor charges what so ever
@GPMAICO219 Honda never believed in the flat rate system because it sacrifices quality? In this video, this guy is a jackass and intentionally setup these guys to make a drama scene. He has his own agenda for this entire video.
Had a problem with my Audi a4 cabriolet B6 Transmission. Took it it parramatta audi (Australia) and got a result that said i needed a new transission module which will cost $4500 AUD. I was just shocked and he had the nerve to say that its only a 4 hour job. the module was $2200 and the rest for labour. I researched and found a transmission workshop down the road. Got my original module reconditioned and restored, labour and 1 year warrenty for $950.
Well the Techs do not make 110 bucks an hour , they make about 26. the shop makes that amount. The flat rate system is killing the industry . If one tech gave a bad estimate on a fixed / trick you assembled broken sunroof . well you tricked him. if they charged you check out time yes you were entitled accurate opinion . I have been a Mercedes tech for 30 years most all of the techs i have worked with are honest .The problem is the dealers system of FLAT RATE PAY SYSTEM . …...
All dealerships are like this. I took my pontiac to quebedaux in Tucson years ago. It was there for a minor recall, and a warrantied service to my harmonic balancer (which I had to pay more than the harmonic balancer and service should have costed in co-payments). I got the car back completely f*cked up. Appearantly they forgot to put the bolts back on the passanger side of the under carriage. It was an easy fix, but they denied it and wanted to charge me $500+ to fix it.
mistake or no mistake wouldnt you be mad if some supposed reputable dealer did that to you? i never trust or use big names,its really hard to get a decent trustworthy mechanic,i know theres plenty of decent guys out there, "ive found a fair decent mechanic at long fucking last and he charges for whats wrong and nothing else,my advice to anyone not finding a good service is to get more than 1 opinion on any suspect problem,also dont tell a mechanic what you think is wrong,let them tell you.
This guy is a complete douchebag. Sounds like he told the service adviser a different story.
