An auto or car is everyone's dream. In fact, for many automotive owners, their car is their baby. Over the years, the auto industry has grown immensely. The automotive industry consists of many organizations and auto companies that deal with the car's design, development, right to the manufacturing, marketing, and selling the car to a perspective owner. Over the years, the auto industry has gone from being a simple car industry to becoming the most important economic sector in term of revenue.
Before you go in for auto repair you need to consider the following:
• Written estimate of the repair required
• A detailed invoice of the parts and the work with the labor charges clarified
• Charges should not exceed 10% - $15.00; unless you have approved of it
• If you have asked for replaced parts to be returned, make sure you get them back
• Invoice statement stating parts used, come with 90 days minimum warranty, 3000 miles
• Right to test drive the car before full payment
• The right to return the vehicle for repair in case any warranty part is not functioning properly
• If any questions, the right to speak to the manager
These five facts should be taken care of, so you do not get overcharged:
1. Avoid getting additional work that is not required.
2. Make sure you do not get charged for repair you do not require.
3. Do not fall for advertisements and baseless services that you do not need.
4. Do not approve to take maintenance packages that are not required.
5. Make sure you do not get charged for something that is covered by warranty.
