Man Sets Up Dashcam, Discovers Mechanic’s Scam

When the garage hit him with an overnight stay and a hefty bill, he didn’t think much of it. But after he returned home to check out their handiwork, his suspicions started to peak.
He asked a friend for a favor and secured hidden cameras onto his vehicle. Within 24 hours, he had uncovered a vicious scam that had him calling the cops. There was no way they were getting away with this.

David Sherman

David Sherman was a businessman who spent most of his spare time being an amateur race car driver. He loved cars and knew much more about them than the average joe.
David had his beloved car for years and knew its engine like the back of his hand. So when he started to experience problems, he knew exactly what it was – much to the detriment of the Economy Lube garage.

Oil Change

David checked out his car and was relieved to discover it only needed an oil change. Everything else looked good. He searched online for the nearest garage and found one that looked promising. Economy Lube had a great deal. $20 for an oil change. It was a no-brainer.
He brought his car to them that afternoon.

Unexpected Problems

Getting an oil change is supposed to be a relatively quick job so when the garage told him that they’d need to keep his car overnight, his forehead raised.
The employee continued to tell him that the mechanic had a look at the car and saw some problems. They told him that the car needed a coolant flush, brake fluid system flush, and services on the transmission system.

Wrongly Overlooked

David was surprised he had missed all that when he checked the car. But then again, he didn’t really suspect anything was wrong with those parts so he could have easily overlooked it.
David gave his car over and collected it the next day. They probably would have gotten away with it if they didn’t shock him with the pricey bill.
