[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 7004911, member: 718"] One dealer in the area used to pin bounced checks prominently to the wall behind the counter so that all could see. Along with the names of anyone who had not paid by the sixth month after invoiced. Didn't seem to do his business any harm. Wouldn't be acceptable these days. As far as finding unnecessary work goes, most workshops really are too busy most of the time to do this. However every mechanic is different and some will replace more parts than others "just in case". That's not cheating or anything, it is just how some are. The very occasional one, taught be more unscrupulous 'old school' dealers, will replace far too many parts with new it has to be said, with the attitude of 'I'm not paying and if they want it to work they will have to pay'. In some cases they may be correct, but for the wrong reason. You certainly don't want to pay to strip a complex machine down a second time after a while for the want of replacing a suspect part worth say a couple of hundred quid that wasn't OK after all.
