Everybody despises car salesman. They talk too quick, use too many clichés, and are generally exasperating. There’s nothing worse than being verbally romanced only to find out you were ripped-off—or is there?
How about getting ripped-off repeatedly? How about getting ripped-off repeatedly for years? How about never even meaningful you were ripped-off, repeatedly, and for years?
Welcome to service! When it comes to swindling, automotive service representatives are the real experts. They have more experience, and way more opportunity to rip you off.
A car salesman has only a few probability to rip you off provided you even engage in negotiations. There’s the price of the car, financing, leasing, garnishing/options, extended warranties, your trade-in, and the general bull that wafts from the salesmen’s mouth.
You should also watch out for the finance manager. Today’s finance folks aren’t just number crunchers, they’re salesmen in disguise. This is where you’ll be encouraged to buy the extended warranty and a host of other garnishing that can all be packaged up nicely into your financing.
Car sales rip-off attempts are easily thwarted. Number one, you can just walk away! Also, there are numerous resources on how to buy a car without losing your shirt. If you’re interested, visit the RepairTrust resource link @ www.repairtrust.com and you’ll find several sites that will tell you everything you want to know about buying, trading, leasing, financing, new, used…etc.
It’s reasonably different in the world of car repair. Your car needs service. You HAVE to deal with a service representative, like it or not.
The folks in the dim underworld of automotive service are well-trained in the art of ripping people off. They’re not the feeding-frenzied, thrashing sharks of sales that are simple to spot.
No, service representatives are the Fantastic Whites. They primarily hunt alone, beating in the murky waters of service, striking without warning.
What’s really scary is that the service industry is infested with Fantastic Whites. Traditional tips and suggestions to avoid their attacks don’t work. This is evidenced by the fact that service customers are scammed “tens of billions of dollars each year.”
Information is the key to STOP a Fantastic White. If one knows who, what, when, where, why, and how it hunts, one can take control.
Importantly, “Sharks are not mindless eating machines.” The Fantastic Whites of the service industry are experienced and smart. There are so many attacks from so many different directions, and new technologies provide fresh chum daily.
With auto repair, technology makes mix-up. Technology makes ripples and waves, making it hard to see below the go up of even unadorned auto repairs.
The Fantastic White can sense the anxiety of a service customer, like it can a struggling swimmer. In the midst of this mix-up, the waters of service get even murkier, and SPLASH—it’s cost you an arm and a leg.
In today’s service environment, the service customer needs protection, and needs to be empowered with right information and powerful tools before even entering the waters. There’s no need to lose any limbs, ever!
