Ever walked out of a repair shop with a sinking feeling in your gut—and an empty wallet? You’re not alone.

In this episode of Get Out of Debt Like a Pro, we take on the frustrating truth behind why people don’t trust their mechanics. From unexpected charges to confusing explanations, car repairs can feel more like financial ambushes than maintenance. But here’s the deal: it’s not just about bad shops—it’s about the power dynamic, the money stress, and the fear of being taken advantage of when you’re already vulnerable.

🚗 Here’s what we cover:

• The real psychological reason people feel ripped off at the repair shop

• Why many car owners feel powerless—and how shady mechanics exploit that

• How to avoid common auto repair scams without becoming a car expert

• What red flags to look for before agreeing to any expensive work

• Ways to protect your wallet, your car, and your peace of mind

Car trouble is stressful enough without worrying if you’re getting hustled. That’s why this episode is packed with practical advice, emotional insight, and clear strategies to help you take control—especially if you’re already dealing with financial struggles, debt, or past repair shop nightmares.
