Car Repair Prices - The Top 5 Reasons It's Your Fault You Paid Too Much

Nobody likes to hear it, but often times you cost yourself $100s, even $1000s of dollars unecessarily in auto repairs. While I'll be the first the throw the entire auto repair industry under the bus, the repair customer can really muck things up...

Whether it's through lying, providing one's own parts, or telling the technician what you want done, there is one horror story after another.

One of my favorites is of the women who pulled into a gas station becuase her car was overheating. Refusing offers to help, she told the technician that her dad was a mechanic and she knew exactly what to do. Indeed, she got the diagnoses correct - the car was overheating, as the coolant had leaked out. She then proceeded to remove the "oil cap" and fill the "engine" up with water.

That cooled the engine down alright!
