Introduction to Consumer Alerts
By Mark Dalen – Owner & Automotive Engineer
One of the biggest issues that face automotive repair shops and impact YOU, the consumer, is that many shops simply no longer understand how modern vehicles actually work. Many shops simply can't afford the sophisticated diagnostic equipment needed to get accurate diagnostic results, while others are more of an assembly line whose objective is to get your car off their lift a quickly as possible, regardless of the cost to the customer. As a result, there is a lot of bad advice out there, leading you to make bad, and expensive decision about your car. I have written these articles, to help you understand how to make better decisions about repairing your car and I hope they will assist you as you navigate the maze of automotive repairs.
