Auto repair. Hidden danger of car service.

When an inspection or failure of the car owner goes to a service where a car repair, carry out diagnostics and for sure, he sure is not deceived. However, in practice things are not so rosy. When repairing a car in a service station and hidden from the first sight of danger. One of the challenges that may face the car owner surrendered in auto repair - is imposed on the service car service, on which the workers were not warned in advance, but for which to pay. The newspaper "Arguments and Facts" gives an example of one of his readers, who, leaving his car in a turnkey service station, just a few hours later received a call from a car mechanic - working stated that if the owner does not agree to replace the brake disks, the machine would be removed from the guarantee. This unplanned additional "service" has increased the price of repairs at times. Already got the car back and asked to show discs removed, the owner was convinced that they could still travel several thousand kilometers. To prove something in this situation is difficult, the only way in when the machine is being repaired under warranty - to monitor the service life of parts and put a mark on all jobs in the guarantee book. The second danger is the following - some services incidental to the repair can be removed from the machine in good condition "native" parts, replacing them with worn or of poor quality. Since most drivers will never climb too "deep" into his own car, immediately recognize the substitution is impossible. Sometimes, instead of replacing any old site clean, paint and produce a new one. So sometimes even come with expensive and large body parts, such as when an insurance company pays for repairs. Usually in such cases, the services are trying to arrange a replacement of anything, even slightly damaged items - and then repairing the old ones and new ones are sold or put to other customers for money. Here you can protect yourself from fraud, just carefully inspecting the car after repairs on the spot and demanded the workers a detailed written report of all the outcomes of their work. If any parts are replaced, the service must submit a check, and packaging for new ones. But the most dangerous thing that can wait for the owner repaired car - while repairing car criminals can make a duplicate key to understand the alarm systems and anti-theft devices. And as in many garages while repairs are the landlord need to leave and registration certificate for the car, the criminals can easily copy all the documents so well getting ready for the hijacking. According to law enforcement officials, the majority of thefts of expensive cars is precisely such a scheme. Therefore, trust repairmen service centers a complete set of keys is not worth it, and it is better to transfer responsibility for the car to the insurance company. Arguments and Facts
