Americans Don't Trust Auto Mechanics (The Roman Report)

Опубликовано 19 июня 2025, 14:01

Despite the majority of auto mechanics being hardworking, honest people, it seems nobody trusts them anymore. But are car mechanics really ripping you off? Or do mechanics deserve your trust? This Roman Report Follow-Up takes a look at some of the ways you're being ripped off by your mechanic, as well as some of the horror stories our viewers have experienced firsthand from car repair shops around the world. I'll also talk at length about what you can do to protect yourself: before AND after you've been ripped off.
