Good shops and mechanics are everywhere, but there are also bad shops and mechanics existing today that you should be careful of. And while you may have heard about the dishonest practices of these mechanics when it comes to doing vehicle repairs, there are actually some dishonest practices that are not only confined within the repair arena. There are practices that reach the level of outright theft.
One of these is the stealing of the valuables inside your car. Imagine this: you bring your vehicle to a shop for a repair and you leave it there for a couple of days. Inside your car—at the rear seat, inside your glove box compartment, or inside your vehicle trunk—are some valuable stuff and belongings. You return to the shop after a couple of days, pay for the repair, and drive your car home… Only to find out later on that some of the belongings left in your car were lost.
What can you do? Well, you can always go back to the auto repair shop to check whether the mechanics simply kept your stuff while the repair was being done and forgot to return them afterwards. However, in case no one could say exactly where your belongings are, the fact is that there’s a little chance that you’ll have them back. Why? Most auto repair shops won’t take responsibility for them. In fact, most shops place a reminder somewhere in the area saying that they are not responsible for any lost valuable.
The best time to do something here is before the repair. Before you bring your car to the shop for a repair, be sure that you remove all valuables inside and leave them at home. This is one responsible thing to do in order to avoid problems and hassles afterwards.
