Majority of the previous posts in this blogs has dealt with auto repair rip offs and ways to avoid them. You’ve read about different techniques that you can use to avoid rip off, and I’ve also posted about some practical tips and DIY processes that you can try to avoid auto repair shops, and possible rip-offs, altogether.
In this article, we’ll discuss one other means of saving on cost and avoiding possible rip-offs—by availing of in-store services. What are these services and where can you find them? Well, there are certain stores that offer free installation of parts as long as you buy the parts from them. This is a freebie offered by some stores for specific car components, while other stores offer this as part of a sale. Among the services that you can have for free are tire installation, the mounting of windshield wipers, and the installation of car battery. Some stores even do free testing of electrical parts.
If you are familiar with the systems in your car and you can do diagnosis on your own, then all you have to do is to get your needed replacement parts from auto parts stores and avail of their free installation service. There’s no more need to visit an auto repair shop to have a problem diagnosed and to have damaged parts replaced for a fee. Of course, you also avoid possible rip-offs by doing this.
All you have to do is to find a regular store that offers these services, one that you can run to every time you encounter problems in your drive and you need replacement components. You must also be on the lookout for sales and free part installation offers not only from stores but as well as from auto parts manufacturers or brands. They can do a whole lot to help you save.
