As little as ten to twenty years ago, when you brought your car to the shop for repairs, there were shady people that would find more wrong with your car than you realized. With the increased reports of fraud and unhappy consumers, the governing bodies for auto shops and garages have passed consumer protection laws. With this protection, garages and auto shops that attempt to take advantage of the customers would face heavy penalties.
As garages and auto shops received word, the reports of such practices have declined dramatically. Though there are a few here and there, they are now among the minority.
This practice has unfortunately crossed over or migrated to other industries. It is unfortunate that greed and money continues to influence how some businesses treat their customers. As an example; People come into the shop all the time telling us that they need new batteries. We always ask how many and more importantly, how do you know that you need new batteries?
With todays electric scooters, the batteries are setup in a series. In five years, I have had to replace all the batteries in a multi battery scooter in less than a handful of occasions....
