Mobile Auto Body Shop owner in Seattle has Tips for Consumers to Avoid Rip-off with Auto Repairs

Mobile auto body shop owner, Mike Tompkins, is always happy to explain his estimate to his customers so they understand what they are paying for. “I want my customers to be satisfied with my services and confident that they got a fair deal,” said Tompkins.

Mike Tompkins owns Collision on Wheels, a mobile auto body shop that provides on-site, same-day minor collision repairs, including scratch and dent repair, bumper repair or replacement, auto painting and more. “All work is done in full view of the customer and in most cases, can be completed in one day. We provide clear and easy-to-understand written estimates and we come prepared to perform the services the same day the estimate is presented and approved.”

During a recent interview, Mike Tompkins provided some tips for consumers to avoid being ripped off by the auto repair industry. “Auto repairs can be very expensive; labor is often the largest part of the repair bill. Add a large mark-up for replacement parts and you find yourself facing a large expense,” said Tompkins.

When asked what consumers can do to protect themselves from being overcharged or for paying for unnecessary repair work, Mike explained, “Your owner’s manual is a valuable resource. If you do not have one, get one. You can find them at major auto parts stores or online. Reading the manual will give you the information you need to have an intelligent conversation with your mechanic and to make a wise decision.”

Mike also recommends checking with the Better Business Bureau to learn if there have been many complaints against the mechanic. Check their credentials to be sure they are ASE certified in the category of repair needed.
