5 Things Your Car Mechanic Won’t Tell You

Real mechanics give you the inside scoop on the tricks of the trade.

1. Read before you sign

Never sign a blank authorization form. Always get a signed work order with a specific estimate for each job and warranties that apply.

2. Tools of the trade

It’s nuts to take a car with engine problems to a shop without a good engine analyzer and scan tool. Any mechanic who says “I don’t need fancy equipment” should be avoided.

3. You get what you pay for

Synthetic motor oils may cost more, but you’ll get a lot more miles between changes.

4. When you go for a second opinion

Don’t tell the mechanic what the first diagnosis and price were.

5. Costly gimmicks

Coolant flushes and power steering flushes are very common gimmicks at quick lubes. Check your owner’s manual; many cars have fluid that is designed to go 100,000 miles. And cleaning fuel injectors is a waste of time and money. There are additives on the market that do a great job. For more information about car repair in Las Vegas, click here.
