- 13Which mechanic diagnosis do I trust when they completely disagree?Conflicting repair assessments leave car owners completely unsure of which shop is right or what parts actually need fixing. Without automotive knowledge, people are trapped guessing who to believe and risk paying for unnecessary repairs.
- 8Dealership can't figure out why my car won't startMechanics often struggle to diagnose intermittent electrical issues when the dashboard lights up and the vehicle fails to crank. This leaves owners stranded without their car for weeks while the repair shop remains unable to find the root cause.
- 5Mechanic changed battery CCA specification on test reportMechanics sometimes manually input incorrect cold cranking amps (CCA) during a battery test, such as entering 800 CCA for a 640 CCA battery, which makes it impossible to trust the diagnostic results. Compounded by poor communication from the service department, vehicle owners are left unable to verify whether a component actually needs replacement or if the test data has been manipulated.
