This is officially the first thing am sharing that is related to my field of learning and i it is very neccesarry because most of us here have cars and am going to share with you very realistic stuffs that works even on the moon...

So here we go...

1. There is this guide that tells you how labour should be charged- I bet ibgot you there, although there is no clear cut price listing for all items it is clear enough to tell you when they are over charging but trust me they won't like you knowing I guess you know why.

2. Free checks is a set up- trust me on this one, 96% of the times you fall for such signs due to ur relative love for free stuffs-afterall who doesn't like does? When you get into the garage be sure you will have to fix something or buy something so much for free service.

3. maybe that oil change can wait- this is one of the easiest way to give out free money for no work done it is estimated that your car requires oil change only after about 7500miles ride but am sure after about 3000miles your mechanic will recommend change not beçause they love your car but because of what they are getting. Oil top up is far better

4.how about the lube jobs?-simply put they are not necessary not saying if you want to you shouldn't but really?

5. Hmm how about breakpads? believe me when I say first off you don't need to change them till they are over 80% worn but because we fear that breaks are the most essential part of the car, mechs prey on that so by 50% you are already over due according to them also remember that you could even do the change yourself cos it is not that hard, if you doubt me check YouTube videos on them an tell me how you feel giving people your money to do what you can..

Remember this is not all conclusive the are more of these but I feel these are more pressing and i hope it could be of help to someone out there...
