When the senior citizen goes to pick up the automobile, the repair person presents a bill much larger than expected. The repair person then holds the auto until the bill is paid in full. Be aware of warning signals that may help you from becoming a victim of auto repair scams. If a facility refuses to warranty the work or fails to offer a work or a satisfaction guarantee to the customer, you should steer away from that facility. Another warning signal is if the repair facility fails to get authorization to use rebuilt parts as opposed to new parts or if there is a constant delay in returning the car.
Senior citizens are an integral part of the community.
Through education and awareness, seniors can be empowered to use reasonable precautions in avoiding con games and scams.
