What if they just want something done as preventative maintenance?

I think diagnosis should be free if the work is done in house. If not then the fee should be paid

Most people leave a dealership in shock and desperately call around trying to getting a little bit of relief on cost. They're just telling you what part they told them they needed.

You’re the only business that I’ve heard of that does that. I wish I lived close enough to use you because of your integrity.

Most shops near me will not install parts I buy. I found a great deal on high quality shocks, no one would install them. So I let a shop charge me double for inferior shocks. Brakes, same. Why?

Auto shop essentially have captive customers because the customers don’t know what it’s gonna cost and then they have to pay to get it diagnosed

What it comes down to is verifying the individual fault before installing Parts since you all have to Warranty not only the labor but the part that’s being installed. It’s a business decision at the end of the day so I get it. You guys are running a honest shop that has integrity compared to other places. Other shops will take advantage and sell you everything but the kitchen sink. The Infiniti repair is a good example.

you might be honest guys, but majority of mechanics just charge for thing they dont do, or just change parts, and when it doesnt work, just change another part and say the previous part they change was also damaged. it has happened to me

why not take the expenses out of diagnoses to get them fixed, most people don't like diag bc it gets major expensive bc they add the hrs to the service and just charge a flat rate for diag regardless of the hrs

Tell them to call their doctor and have them just call in a random medicine without a office visit to diagnose what they need

Well, I said I want new spark plugs. They said “did we recommend that” I said no, I have no record of it ever being done and I want to be sure I know this part of the maintenance is done and when.

Even when the shop diagnosed the issue, I always got charged for everything. Including all the stuff that didn’t fix the issue

yeah some customers know about vehicles but don't have the proper tools to fix it. I just needed my exhaust replaced from the flex pipe back to the muffer but didn't have a lift to do it myself. I called this muffler shop by my house and told them exactly that. I brought the parts to them and they put them on for me and didn't ask any questions. car runs like new.

This is me :
a diagnosis usually will tell you why that part failed. bad part or something else lead to that part failing.

Finding a highly knowledgable workshop like yours in the uk is not easy, the guy who does my cars is very fair, but admits to limitations, having said that, if he takes a job on and can’t sort it he doesn’t charge
