As an ex-car dealer from a car dealer family, Mark Ragsdale brings 25 years of experience to his insightful new book, Car Wreck. Passionate and articulate, he enthusiastically lays out the “fixes” for the car industry, which is currently being hammered by decades of accumulated financial abuses, unholy political motivations, and unadulterated greed.
Let’s face it. Not all mechanics are honest. Some car owners have had the unfortunate experience of being ripped off. This especially happens when your vehicle happens to be an older model needing repairs. The mechanic can use excuses like “Well, it ain’t easy to do” or “You know or the repair you asked for didn’t include that.” When you hear that, you have a right to be nervous and the price tag could easily add up. Instead of dealing the runaround and over priced estimates you could do better by selling your used car. Most of us can’t get a family recommendation or a referral to protect us from being overcharged.
