I can’t count how many auto repair ads I’ve seen that hype a really low price. And even with all we know about “too good to be true”, the low price stays in our head.
 
Have you heard this one? A chain store that specializes in brakes has advertised $99 brake jobs for years. But lately something is different. I wonder if some attorney general or government office has had a talk with them – because now all their ads say this: “Additional services are often recommended at substantial additional cost.” Now we know for sure.
 
My advice? Find an honest mechanic who quotes honest prices and stick with him to avoid getting stuck!
