Protection from Rip-off Car AC Repairs

I have a video to share about rip-off car AC repairs. The video is from the today show and one of the better camera exposés I have seen related to the car business. Although these hidden camera stories are nothing new they are getting a lot better.

In this one the bait vehicle has six high definition cameras installed. I'm posting this in the air-conditioning section because the repairs are directly related to this often misdiagnosed system. Rip-off car AC repairs can be one of the easiest ways for a repair center to dig very deep into your pockets. Because these repairs can be expensive.

The drivers want for comfort on hot summer days can outweigh the costs and the owner’s common sense about getting second opinions. Automotive consumers are most vulnerable to these scams when it is 112 outside and the auto repair service center is backed up with other air-conditioning repairs. In this situation a driver can feel a sense of desperation and approve repairs even if they are skeptical about the diagnosis.

Car A/C repairs dealer rip-off

Here is the video that was provided by the MSNBC website. This video focuses on new car dealership service departments. At the end of the video the investigative reporter announces that he plans to go to some aftermarket shops in the near future with the same vehicle and the same air-conditioning problem.

This should provide a fair and balanced full report in the future. What is real interesting about the video is some automotive consumers are under the belief that the car dealership will provide the best service or at least have technicians with the highest level of expertise for that specific vehicle. These things might be true. But if the result is rip-off car AC repairs then knowledge really doesn't matter. It may be more important to your wallet how honest the auto repair center is.
