Taking shortcuts when servicing complex vehicles like this Audi that Alex the Car Doctor refuses to work on raises risk levels that can result in severe and costly consequences. In this case, haphazard wiring could cause electrical system failures, engine damage, and compromised safety features.
Typically, auto mechanics will only turn work away when they lack specialized equipment for modern, complex vehicles, can’t get parts, are already overloaded with work, or have liability concerns with unsafe, "modified," or "neglected" vehicles. While the Audi above is one to stay away from, here’s a solid used option to consider.
What we’re watching
Car fixes are getting more complicated than most mechanics would like, as Eddie explains here.
Even service techs get caught up in dealership politics, says this Audi master mechanic.
Semper Fi Mechanic was hustling doing work on the side, but the seller only paid half. Can’t blame him for what he did to ensure he got his money.
Thanks for reading everybody!
