Be it a brand new SUV, or a rusty, old vintage vehicle, there will come a tie when it breaks down. The market is filled with mechanics who have every intention of getting a hold on your money instead of actually repairing the vehicle. Read on to find out what are the signs that will help you identify a deceiving mechanic and stay away from him.

Avoid Confusion:

When you approach a mechanic with your car problem, he should be in a position to tell you exactly what is wrong with your vehicle without confusing you with terms that is unknown to a layman. If he tries to flaunt his knowledge on vehicles instead of dealing with the actual problem, you should stop him right away instead of nodding and pretending to understand him. Find out if he can actually solve the problem instead of simply beating around the bush. You should have your doubts as soon as you see that the mechanic is not telling you what you need to know.

Look for Assurance:

All the parts that undergo repair should be subject to a minimum of 30-day guarantee- be it the muffler, transmission or the brakes! If the mechanic is well-reputed, he will list out those parts that come with guarantees and the duration of these guarantees. In case the situation is otherwise, and the mechanic is avoiding mention of any such guarantee, you should know that he is making use of refurbished parts instead of new ones. You should stop the work at once and put off the deal.

The Cleanliness Factor:

Any repair shop should have a minimal amount of cleanliness. It is necessary that the tools are placed in order and there are no oil slicks lying on unused floor. Cleanliness not only creates a good impression but also helps the customer to get a clear picture of the shop and the activities taking place inside it.

Clustered Up Vehicles:

Another factor you need to keep in mind before giving your car for repair to any mechanic is if there are cars (abandoned), lined up in and around the shop. You should know that the owners will not profit by keeping their cars in the shop so there has to be something fishy about the cars. These cars standing outside the shop should be a warning sign for you not to enter into the shop for any repair work.

Keeping the above points in mind, you will definitely be able to avoid any mechanic who tries to cheat you out of your money.
