Just Answer .Com-A Web Site For Ask a Car Question - Ask an Expert!

I wanted to write my own article about these auto mechanics at JustAnswer . Com. My experience with justanswer was a good one when I could not find an answer to my question after scouring the internet for days. I also called some old buddies who were still turning wrenches for an answer to my car question. To my surprise , my old auto mechanic friends could not answer my car question either. At first, I felt like a dummy when it came to my own vehicle. After 20 minutes of waiting for the auto technician to answer me back and paying a VERY SMALL FEE, I was surprised how the answer to my question was given to me. These auto technicians were so fast and accurate and most importantly cheap. JustAnswer . Com advertises if you have a car question, “just ask a expert.”


I was so impressed with these auto technicians at Justanswer. Com, I decided to add their ask a ‘expert box’ here on my auto repair savings blog. I had come to the conclusion that lowering my ego a little bit to have, “just answer” fix my car problem was well worth their small fee. The best of all if you do not like their answer you do not have to pay them! I would like to see your local auto repair shop offer that kind guarantee and promise. Although I consider myself as a car repair expert there are times that this just answer-ask an expert box will come to my rescue. Feel free to log in and get that tough car repair question answered here on my blog.

The reason why I feel these car repair experts are so good is because they must have a complete library available to them when and if they need it. Electrical diagrams and schematics at JustAnswer are at their finger tips. They are under pressure to please you because they know you will not pay them if their answer was not true. Auto repair shops out there could learn something here when it comes to pleasing a customer.

In short, at JustAnswer if you have a car repair question that you can not find an answer to type it in this box and ask an expert. Feel free to book mark this article and come back to it every time you have a car question that needs to be answered. Questions get answered here and very fast too!

Automobile Repair Mechanics make a lot of Money with Commissions

Have you ever wondered why your car repair bill is so high? The reason is, automobile repair mechanics make a lot of money with commissions. Free brake inspections and oil changes are the money makers for these car shops. Every auto mechanic who performs a free brake inspection has money symbols in his eyes thinking about the huge commissions from the up sells. Oil change mechanics often feel the same way about up selling for commissions. Let me explain what I mean and what you need to watch out for. Although I worked as a ASE certified auto mechanic for over 25 years I was appalled some times of what auto repair shop owners expected from their technicians.


Free brake inspections will make a automobile repair mechanic make a lot of money with commissions. First of all the word advertised here is, “Free Brake Inspection.” This would even attract someone like me to have this service performed for free. Actually I had a brake noise once and rather than jacking my car up and pulling wheels off to look for it I had a automobile repair shop mechanic do it for me. Of course I did not tell him I was also a ASE certified brake technician. To make a long story short the auto mechanic wrote me up a brake estimate which totaled around $400. I just wanted to peak at my brakes to see what the noise was not to have a auto mechanic try to make some money from commissions from me! As I suspected, a front pad shim had wiggled loose and needed to be put back in place by me.

Oil changes are a big time money maker for the automobile mechanics who also offer a “FREE” maintenance inspection. When they call you outside to show you the supposed bad and dirty part they have you! Your $19.95 oil change has turned into a lot of money for the auto mechanic wanting to bump up his commissions. He or she is thinking about a big steak dinner for not only him but for his entire family on his next payday. I don’t want to slam automobile repair mechanics for trying to make a lot of money with commissions but where do they draw the line? Like I said before auto repair shop owners play a major role in getting to your hard earned money with commission promises to his automobile repair mechanics.

I hope this article informing you of how auto repair shops operate has educated you just a little bit on how automobile repair mechanics make a lot of money with commissions. For more car care tips please visit my blog at, “Auto Repair Savings and my Special Links

Auto Repair Shop Hourly Rates and Auto Parts Prices


Wouldn’t this be a nightmare seeing auto mechanics expanding out and opening auto parts stores combined with their auto service centers and their own tow truck service? It sounds kind of like a tongue twister if you sit back and think about this. Just the idea of a team of auto mechanics coming together and controlling prices for their parts and labor with tow truck service resulting in sky rocketing auto repair bills for you and me. That is the part that sounds like a night mare to me! Let me explain to you what I am talking about here.

Lets say a auto mechanic opened his own auto repair shop with his own money. First of all he or she can charge what ever they want when it comes to auto repair shop hourly rates. Depending on his automotive skill level and ASE certifications he might just want to charge his auto repair customers a high price of $200.00 per hour for working on their car or truck! And to make matters worse he or she now decides to open his or her own auto parts store. Now he has control of the auto-parts prices which he will charge you as his auto repair customer which he can double along with his $200.00 per hour auto shop rates. Keep in mind that auto repair shops across this country do charge their auto repair shop customers any where from $17.50 per hour to $200.00 per hour depending on their moods or how high they are strung out on themselves. Can you imagine how much money a auto repair mechanic who owns his own auto center plus his own auto parts store could make in one day of automotive repair business? But now he wants to add his own auto and truck tow service.

Example for a Normal Auto Repair Shop

I’m thinking now about that credit card commercial a normal auto repair shop would charge you as follows: tow bill $45, diagnostic $25 (time spent on finding your problem), $60 for rebuilt starter, $17.50 for labor to install starter. With a grand total of $147.50 for everything. Now this auto repair bill seems just fine to me and you right?

Example for the Expanding Auto Mechanic Who Has Everything

Keep in mind this auto repair shop bill could be the real thing! This is where the money is when you have your own auto repair shop, auto parts store and your own tow truck service. Here we go again! Tow bill $250-diagnostic time-$200-New starter-$400, 1 hour labor to install starter $200. With his grand total of $1,050.00 for everything. These prices could be you.

Which auto repair shop would you see yourself taking your vehicle into when your car or truck will not turn over with a bad starter motor. The auto mechanic could charge you either $147.50 or $1,050,00 depending on his location and how bad you need your vehicle fixed! I would guess with these prices he could call it a day after a few cars come into his auto service center and buy his auto parts after being unhooked from his tow truck. With all of this said keep in mind these examples could be you if you happen to stroll into his auto mechanics shop who owns his own auto parts store along with his own tow truck service!

Symptoms And Signs: When to Junk -Scrap-Car-Call Junk Yard

We all know that at some point it is time to call the salvage yard to request a car removal. That old used car had a lot of memories but you know it has to go especially when your transmission goes on your car. First it was the car brakes then now the transmission. Although your check engine light has been on it seems like forever that’s just one more car repair bill you do not want to deal with. Here are a few symptoms and signs you can use to decide when it is time to junk a car or make that call for a car removal.


One symptom and sign you should watch out for is how much money have you been spending on your car or truck within the past 3 months. As a former ASE certified Auto Tech. for over 25 years I have seen my fair share of old used cars ready for the salvage or junk yard rather than putting more money into the vehicles. You may have been even looking at the used car lots on your days off. That’s another sign you should recognize. Maybe its your conscious telling you it is time to call the wrecking yard or perhaps start looking to buy a new car. Or perhaps even possibly trying to get ahead and pawn your car off on a unsuspecting used car buyer. Sure the used car lots will offer you three thousand dollars for it but not before he jacks up the price of your new car for the same price!


Ok lets go over these Signs and Symptoms real quick because I have a few more for you before I run out of room here.


1. Transmission Problems
2. Check engine light On Forever
3. Scouting The Used Car Lots on your day off
4.Your Conscious Telling You Its Time
5.Thinking You Will Get Top Dollar For Your Used Car


More signs and symptoms for you when its time to get rid of your car or truck is when the local auto mechanics want to completely restore your braking system with a thousand dollar estimate. Or if you feel foolish by telling hem to go ahead and do it just because you have no idea what he is explaining to you. The last few pointers I want to give you on this signs and symptoms article is look for leaks of all colors under your car or truck. You could see some Brown oil , Red or Green antifreeze, Red transmission fluid, and Brownish Black power steering fluid. I hope you have enjoyed this “Signs and Symptoms” on when it is time to call the wrecking yard to come and get your vehicle!
