Are all mechanics scammers?

People keep reaching out to me with the same questions: “How do I find a good mechanic? How do I choose one shop from the next?

If you’ve ever gone to an auto repair shop and left with some lingering doubt about whether you were just taken for a ride, this is the course for you. You’ll leave with the roadmap you need to sort through all the options out there to find a quality mechanic who meets the needs of both you and your car for years to come.

• Where to look for a mechanic

• What questions to ask

• How to sort through reviews you find online

• The differences between franchises, corporate, and independent shops

• When (and if) going to a dealership makes sense

• Warranty on repair and coverage

• Mechanic shop etiquette

• How to say no to a mechanic

I’ll be answering questions live and molding the content around the specific needs of the group I’m teaching. You’ll have access to my vast portfolio of information to ask anything you want to make the process the smoothest for you.
