when i was a mechanic, we'd get tons of cars in with people sayign they just had work done or they were told they needed something. we'd be up front with them all the time. By running the shop like that we became very busy and would work on an average of 30 cars a day between the owner and myself. We were always packed with satisfied customers who'd recommend us to even more people. About 2 years after i left, everythign went downhill though, the owner started seeing how mcuh profit could be made by overcharging and all, now the shop works on like 4-5 cars a day. I think its funny, i still use the shop for towing and buying parts from dealers but i would never trust any of my vehicles there anymore, its a sad thign to be honest.
