This post hopefully doesn’t offend any hard working honest folks in the automotive repair industry. This is my experience earlier today while getting a state inspection on my vehicle. While waiting for the state inspection I could hear the service representatives making followup calls to customers to discuss the “findings” of their cars left for service. They called several customers to reveal that due to “stripped drain plugs” they were going to need “oil pan replacements“. Coincidence? I doubt it. Not to mention the conversations about “brake fluid flushes”, “coil packs and ignition wires“ to go along with “your tune up”.
That’s all I’ll say. Form your own opinions.
It was amusing that my battery that’s three years old is ”failing” but they never turned on my windshield wipers while performing required annual safety/emissions inspection. Wonder why the automotive industry has a bad name? I hate that since I’ve made my living in it for 40+ years.
