Why Repair Shops Hate Car Warranties

by Gregory Nelson

Many people don’t buy car warranties because they believe they can’t afford it. How can you NOT afford it if you knew how mechanics and repair shops can take advantage of you without one?

While it may sound outrageous, it’s still true that some mechanics and repair shops will overcharge for retail on parts and the labor performed. In some cases, they may even put in extra parts that are not necessary for the repair, not to mention the unsightly hourly wage that’s posted on the wall.

So when you go into a repair shop as a cash buyer you can count on paying whatever is on that wall. That’s right. Say goodbye to the money you were saving for your next family vacation, or even groceries. But – and this is something most people don’t pay enough attention to – when you are with a warranty company like us, we act as your buffer to make sure repairs are legitimate and within the correct price range.

At DCI Warranty Services, we deal directly with mechanics all day everyday. We know the games they like to play. In fact, if you have a repair that isn’t covered under you vehicle service agreement, we’ll negotiate the rate lower on your behalf so you don’t get ripped off. How is that possible? It’s called Purchasing Power – because of the amount of business we bring to each car repair center, we can use our relationship to negotiate better rates for our customers.

So if you think you can’t afford a car warranty, think again. You can’t afford not to have one because you could end up paying more dealing directly with mechanics and repair shops.
