@underdog.automoti: Found this cross-threaded lug nut on a Subaru. I had 3 options: 1. Fix it and say nothing 2. Charge extra 3. Just make it right We fixed it and moved on. Not everything has to turn into a bill. That’s how you build a real business. #mechanicsoftiktok #cartok #mobilemechanic #Subaru #smallbusinessowner

I think telling the customer that you did it for free for the customer will earn customers trust in the long run

a wheel stud change takes 15 minutes tops. just take the L and go on by your day. It happens to me like ones a week at work.

Tell the customer it broke for whatever reason. Then that you’ll cover it or fix it. 10/10 they’ll come back for honesty work

A small local tire shop broke mine doing a tire rotation and they said they don’t replace them and so I went to buy the replacement for $2 at oreallys and went to another professional tire shop that can replace it for $75 but then I bought my own tools to replace it myself but that tire shop lost me as a customer and the other tire shop gain me as a customer and I’ve gotten more work done with them because they do more than just tires.

Damn bro is a good businessman. I’ve had shops in the past break them and then come tell me they broke them and they’re not liable. I’ve also had shops tell me they couldn’t get the lugs off and I had to go loosen them for them😂

If you text your customers you need to send them a video describing this sort of stuff - higher chance to leave a positive review

shoulda advised them it wasn’t coming off and you we’re gonna have to break it beforehand, even if you still planned on doing it for free

You can charge the customer $50 at the beginning if something like this happens and if all goes to plan just put it towards there cost.
