    For a custom auto restoration business, Swindeling 100k is a rather small amount in 2-years time

    • @MonstaHiTZ617
      @MonstaHiTZ617 26 дней назад +5

      It is a small amount in the custom car world , not that it’s right to rip anyone off, but the news channel and all that . there are engines that cost over 100k .
      also not to defend anyone because I work in that field , but there are a lot of states that do not issue titles on cars over 15 yrs old , so who knows what happened .

    One time
    I questioned the dealer invoice as the dealer charged me for 6 hours labor.
    I asked the rep. to show me videos that his mechanic actually spent 6 hours. The answer was very vague.
    Me and a friend, we went to a non profit mechanic shop in which the owner taught us the basics.
    My friend went back to school, graduated with his vocational degree in mechanic.
    He worked for a well known dealer…he told me that the dealer is ripping customers off especially on the labor.
    He spent like 15 minutes replacing brakes pad however the dealer charged 2 hours.
    He replaced a major part, he took his time, smoke breaks in between then chitchat with coworkers here and there then went back spent about 30-45 minutes then the circle started all over again.
    The customer got scammed.
    My friend suggested that dealer who like transparency needs to make a big window like those car washes where customers can actually see how theirs cars were washed and cleaned.
    The dealer took note but that was it.
    Dealer, Shops and anything Handyman are scammers

You know people work hard for their money. I couldn’t imagine stealing or misusing other peoples money. Mine maybe, others … NO.

    Automotive restoration is a hotbed of fraudulent operators. I’ve been in the classic car hobby for almost 50 years, and I’ve heard countless tales of fraud in that time. Many classic car owners are full of nostalgia and often fall prey to smooth talking shysters. There are lots of good guys out there, so take your time and look for good references from actual customers. It’s easy, go to any car show and ask what shops people are using - names will start popping up good and bad. Be cautious and use your own two eyes to see the quality of work. Listen carefully to what others have gone through to determine who is trustworthy.

    • @frankcb11
      @frankcb11 28 дней назад +1

      I can’t defend everyone and think there is a lot of skimming going on in industry. But a reason to consider as to why things are expensive on repair side is low supply of labor and now at days parts are more expensive than labor. Costing easily 2-4x what they use to cost. So keep that in mind and the parts suppliers are basically a monopoly
