Are You Overpaying For Car And Truck Repairs?

In short — yes, most people are massively overpaying for automotive repairs.

The reality is that many repairs are marked up 20% to 60% more than they should be. Yes, you read that correctly. That’s how much the average customer is overcharged at a so-called “trusted” repair shop.

Why This Happens Everywhere — Not Just “Bad Shops”

This isn’t a one-off situation. It’s not “a few bad apples.”It’s the industry standard.

When you walk into a repair shop, you’re walking into:

• A business that needs to hit a monthly quota

• Service advisors who get commission

• Technicians who are pressured to upsell

• Labor guides that shops can manipulate

• Part markups the customer never sees

• A pricing system you’re not educated on

The entire structure is set up in a way where you don’t know what you don’t know — and shops take full advantage of that gap. This isn’t about mechanics being “evil."

It’s about a system that rewards overcharging and penalizes transparency.

What Customers Don’t Realize

Here’s the truth most shops will never admit:

You can’t judge a repair quote by the dollar amount alone.

The reason matters.

The necessity matters.

The diagnosis matters.

The actual labor time matters.

And most importantly…Whether the repair even needs to be done at all.

A huge percentage of customers are sold:

• Services that aren’t required

• Repairs based on misdiagnosis

• Upsells that aren't needed, (Snake oil and flushes)

• Parts that never needed replacement

• Flat-rate labor times that don’t reflect reality

This is why so many people leave repair shops thinking,

“Why does this feel wrong… but I can’t explain it?”

We explain it and most often, it is wrong. Taking the “Blind Trust” Out of Automotive Repairs
