Watch out for cheats! Convince yourself that no one is going to watch out for you. The world has a lot of nice people in it but how many times have you walked away from the workshop wondering if the job was properly done?
There are times when they scam you, have no doubt about it. Many people are scammed because they do not know anything about car engine maintenance or are perceived by the mechanic that they are so.
In reality most men do not know much about car engine maintenance but they pretend to know. This is not surprising since our society dictates that men should be more technical then women and should know a lot about car' engines. So many men try to conform to this norm and pretend to be knowledgeable about car engine maintenance.
You must try to conform with this norm too when approaching a mechanic!
An ignorant customer is the most vulnerable person in their eyes. Do not leave yourself at another's mercy and do not tempt anyone to cheat you. A way around appearing clueless is to be the jack of all trades. Even if you can bluff some knowledge you will earn respect that would otherwise be missing.
For more concrete measures, if you think the workshop can cheat you by not replacing the part you are paying for, try marking it discretely so you can check later if the part has been really replaced or just been cleaned and polished. This of course will tell you where not to go for repairs the next time you need any service.
