Sneaky mechanics, outwitting them
Car owners must have a basic working knowledge of the common parts of their vehicles. Sometimes deceitful mechanics will look for opportunities to take advantage on their clients’ lack of knowledge about their own cars. A favorite trick of these sneaky mechanics involves your car’s motor oil. What they do is hold the dipstick in a way that it won’t go all the way so to show that your car’s short on oil. Now, that is just a cheap trick but others can be quite expensive and surprising, too. A detached spark plug can look like and fake engine trouble. Car owners who know more about their car parts are less likely to be fooled by these sly mechanics so, in short, read your car’s manual or find a basic repair book.
