We already know how easy it is to be ‘taken advantage of’ in the automotive repair world. Regardless of your situation, how do you find an automotive transmission supplier, a car dealer, or any automotive related business who is on the level. Especially on the service work side. Parts come in all sorts of quality levels, but then again, how do you know you got the “best transmission parts”?
What I’m about to direct you to is a brief on Deceptive Auto Advertising by the Office of the Attorney General, Consumer Frauds Bureau of New York. The basic idea here is New York law prohibits false, deceptive and misleading advertising. I’m very sure every state has similar laws. Florida does, I know because I live here and owned a transmission repair shop for over 25 years (sold it three and a half years ago) and I had to abide by the laws.
I found that being sincere and honest was the best recipe for doing business. Big time claims, scaring people or forcing sales on people were not even in my book, simply put. I did not feel comfortable and never tried to be elusive or tricky with my answers to people, so I did not. The pure excellence about telling the truth is it attracts the customers who really want quality repairs and parts. Educated consumers should not be fooled by some of the tactics used in the article I linked to above. Good ain’t cheap and cheap ain’t good. Read this blog and you will become educated. At least enough to protect yourself from fraud.
In reality I was selling myself. It was easy to gain a customers confidence for me. I simply told the truth and didn’t candy coat it. I recommenced repairs or replacement transmissions that is in their best interest, in terms they understood, and not in my best interest. And when some body needed a rebuilt transmission, we knew exactly who to buy it from. The truth is we were a transmission shop, and did our own rebuilding. Sometimes, for really good customers we would break our rules and do other work for them.
We did not rebuild engines. We stayed pretty darn busy, usually more work than we could handle. Every now and then I needed a rebuilt transmission ‘now’, so we would call GotTransmissons.com and make an order. We got personal service from well informed experts, the product arrived on schedule, and best of all, we never had a problem with one of GotTransmissions.com’s units. That is the way it is supposed to be, trust me, when you need a rebuilt transmission, GotTransmissions is your only choice. Call 866-320-1182.
