How to Avoid Getting Ripped Off on Auto Repair

Knowledge is your best defense. At HI-TECH AUTO, we believe in empowering our San Diego customers with transparent information to make confident decisions about their vehicle's care.

Common Red Flags to Watch For

  • Vague Estimates: Be wary of shops that refuse to provide a written, itemized quote before starting work.
  • Pressure to Act Immediately: Honest mechanics explain the urgency and give you time to decide.
  • Unnecessary Upsells: Recommendations should be based on your vehicle's specific condition and maintenance history.
  • Refusal to Show Old Parts: A trustworthy shop will show you the worn or damaged parts they've replaced.

Our Transparent Process

We eliminate guesswork and build trust from the first interaction.

Clear Diagnosis

We explain the problem in plain language and provide a detailed, written estimate with no hidden fees.

Your Approval

No work begins without your explicit, informed consent. We answer all your questions first.
