On this week’s GTW, we are talking the cheapest customers that you are ever going to get in your shop- the used car guys (and that’s a big statement considering our stance on working on your family’s cars). They are 100% about the profit and do not want to fix ANYTHING which leads to a lot of wire ties, duct tape, cutting rotors and other assorted “temporary fixes”. With a mantra of “buy low, sell high” even courtesy items such as oil changes are ignored in the name of the all mighty dollar. Be wary of these people, and if they want you to do substandard repairs tell them to go somewhere else- because at the end of the day they will shift the blame on a broken car to the guy who “fixes” them. Also, Uncle Jimmy talks about his favorite cryptids: Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, and virtuous used car guys. More importantly, we want to hear about some of your dealings with used car guys, because everyone has a story about this!
