Thank you Greta. I am an elder woman of 72 yrs and I had to replace my engine of my last car due to the fact this place that I had gone to for many yrs. They forgot to put the oil drain plug back after having a oil change. I went back and told them and they would not own up to it or pay me for damages. Needless to say I never went back. They, at the time were the only place that worked on my car. Now I take my car to a Toyota dealership where I bought the car hoping they will stand behind their work. Yes it costs more but, what choice does one have when you don't have anyone else to turn too? My brother is bedridden and no one has the time supposedly.
Also the sensor light on the dash was not working to let me know if something was wrong because it was too expensive to replace..what a mistake to not fix that no matter the cost because in the end, look what it cost 💔 😢
Three years ago we had a strange knocking sound from the car's motor. It was very much the same noise as when the gap between the rocker arms and the valves is too big.
I was told we needed a new engine head. We paid the equivalent of $2500 (in Norwegian money) for the repair. A year later the noise came back, and I said, "If we have to pay another $2500 we're outa' here, and we're done with this shop."
The guy went back into the workshop for ten minutes. When he came back he said he had adjusted the valves. We paid only $100. I found out later that the noise in question was a safety valve opening if the motor's load is too heavy.
A year later we go to another shop because the breaks were making a metal to metal noise (squealing). I asked the guy there about the valve adjustment. He said "The valves are hydraulic. There is no adjusting them."
I'll never go back to the first shop again. I am sure they have a turnover based bonus program there. That incentivises creative lying.
Great I went back and listened to your video in this article….I’m sorry I missed it the first time! Good for you for putting their service guy in the hot seat and keeping him there! I absolutely loved hearing you confront him especially since I’ve been there and done that with the car “experts” and the medical “experts”! Love the way you encourage everyone to get curious and ask questions instead of just accepting what their healthcare providers say. Your website and info about medical consents is must amazing! Thanks for fighting back in every way Greta - your fight helps all of us!
I need to find someone like you or become a mechanic in my spare time! My gut just felt he was lying even though he was SOOO nice. He even said he would contact the corporate office of the place where I got my brakes done. He was never going to do that, just lie to me more. Funny how when I did get new brake pads the squealing stopped and they worked great. But he claimed that it was metal on metal. But I never heard or felt any metal on metal. Hope this goes viral and he stops but there was a review from just 2 days ago that he was still doing this.
There are exceptions but most really nice people aren't good. They are good at acting. People thinking nice=good are why we've so many bad people in government.

Buyer Beware I guess!
Voting for Doc Chambers👍
The "squealers" are on the brake pads, some pads don't have them or only on one pad. They contact the rotor when pads get thin.
If you have a a caliper slider lock up it'll only wear the pad on the piston side.
I thank God I personally know the local mechanics, do my smaller work myself.
