- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

Those are shit mechanics who are just trying to steal as much money as they can. I would avoid them and call them out whenever possible. I've had some good mechanics who go out of their way to save you time and some who have actually helped without charging extra. Not to say it's required but the stigma of bad mechanics has ended up being the way it is by having people oblivious to what happens under their car's hood.
My local chain does that bullshit upsell standard.
They'll even show you your CLEAN air filter in hope you're a sucker enough to say yes.
And they don't get in trouble if they just say "wow, look at this cabin air filter. Would you like us to replace it while we're working on your car?"
Yeah, I don't go back to places like that, I leave reviews, and I tell anyone who mentions car trouble "don't go to this place here"
There's a shop about 35 minutes from me I've been at for awhile now, they've saved me quite a bit of money over the years and the ONLY time I've had an issue with something, THEY contacted ME to ask me to come back in so they could fix a mistake.
