Many stores still pretend that something is spilling. While you’re not looking, the mechanic sprays antifreeze under the hood and asks you to replace the radiator hose.
Sometimes an oil leak is detected under the car, leaving no room in the driveway or garage. Sometimes the technician will fix the problem causing the leak instead of paying for time and new hoses or a radiator.
Another quick way to run up a repair bill is to state that you need shock absorbers or struts because the car is otherwise unsafe to drive. You can make sure of this by rubbing the body of the tamlar with oil. If you’re driving, it’s perfectly safe to be thrown out and there’s nothing you can do to legally stop you.
