How do I avoid getting upsold at a mechanic?
Ask the shop to separate “needs doing now” from “can wait”, and to show you the worn part. Get a written estimate before work starts, and ask them to call you before going over it.
Before you goWrite down the exact symptoms so they fix what you came in for.
Ask the shop“Can you call me before doing anything not on this estimate?”
