Protecting Honest Mechanics from Dishonest Customers
Running an auto repair shop is hard work, and it gets even tougher when you’re dealing with dishonest customers. Some clients refuse to pay, file false damage claims, or try to reverse payments after getting repairs. These scams can drain your time, hurt your reputation, and cost you real money.
​
Believe me, as a former owner of a shop, I know firsthand how crooked and costly some customers can be. That’s why at Unscrewed, we help vehicle repair shops protect themselves from scams, recover lost payments, and defend their good name.
