TikTok user @scottykilmerofficial claims that some mechanics look to charge you for repairs you don’t actually need.
He said: “If you go to a mechanic shop and there’s a bunch of cars with no bonnet, no plates and no registration certificates, you should be careful.
“Don’t get suckered in by things like brakes for £49,95, and then there’s a little thing that says ‘most cars’.
“Because guess what? Your car isn’t going to be one of those cars.
“And don’t get suckered by a chain company that says: ‘Don’t worry, we can get you a credit card for our company’.
“Word of mouth is the best way to find a mechanic.”
The experienced mechanic has more than 756,00 followers on TikTok – and people love his content.
His video on mechanic scammers has had more than 153,500 views and 180 comments – and most users were enquiring about a good mechanic in their local area.
One said: “Scotty can you recommend a mechanic in the Dallas, TX area?”
Another said: “Not many mechanics left these days. Most are just parts changers.”
A third pointed out: “This is why I do my mechanical work. YouTube makes it easy.”
This comes after a car expert mechanic revealed the most common repair scam – and being aware of it could save you hundreds of pounds.
