4 Car Repair Scams to Avoid - Scambook

Auto mechanic scams are one of the most common types of consumer rip-offs. For most of us, cars are a vital part of our lives but we may not have the knowledge or skill to keep them maintained and fix problems. When our cars need a repair, we have to trust our mechanic to diagnose the problem and give it to us straight.

Unfortunately, this makes it easy for an auto mechanic to order repairs that aren?t really necessary, over-charge for a quick fix, or find other ways to rip us off right under our noses.

The good news is you can protect yourself with a little information. Here?s 4 car repair scams that you can?definitely avoid, every single time.

?

Scam #1: The Engine Flush

Ever have a mechanic suggest that you should get an engine flush? They?re probably full-on lying to your face. Mechanics (the unethical ones, at least) love to tell unsuspecting customers that their engines are dirty, which can only be remedied by an engine flush.

Turns out you don?t really need this until you?ve been driving your car for a significant number of years. What?s that? You were just recommended an engine flush for your 2010 Sentra? Yeah, you can go ahead and skip that one.

?

Scam #2: Fuel Injector Cleaning

This is another scam that mechanics sometimes get away with because people don?t know enough about their cars to understand when they should say no.

Most cars don?t need to have their fuel injectors cleaned until they pass the 100,000-mile mark.

When getting your car fixed, it can be easy to get tricked into paying for unnecessary repairs.

If you?do think you might have a fuel injector problem, but haven?t driven your car very long, you can always get a fuel injector cleaning solution and add it to your gas tank the next time you top yourself off.

?

Scam #3: Fuel-Saving Gadgets

Wait. A fuel-saving gadget? That works? How is there not one in every car that?s ever been made, ever? It?s because they don?t actually work, at all. If they did, everybody would be using them.

If your auto mechanic recommends that you pay extra money for a device that somehow grants you a ton of extra fuel economy, back away.

To lower your monthly fuel costs without getting ripped off, there are a few practical things you can do, like learning how to coast, accelerating and braking more gently, and getting rid of all that junk in your trunk.

?

Scam #4: The Auto-Transmission Flush

Make sure that you trust your mechanic before agreeing to any additional repairs.

This is another repair service that your car most likely won?t need until you?ve passed that 60,000 mile mark.

Problem is, most drivers don?t really realize this, so shady, scam-prone mechanics are able to talk people into the procedure, bilking them out of a good chunk of money in the process.

Your car, as it turns out, has a system in place that makes it unnecessary for you to do an auto-transmission flush before you hit the 60k mark.

Open verdict in death of Cheltenham College pupil

A coroner has expressed concern at the way a prestigious public school cares for pupils in crisis following the case of a boy who died after taking an acne drug that has been blamed for causing depression.

The parents of 16-year-old Jack Bowlby, who was found with a ligature around his neck, also criticised Cheltenham College for the way it acted after the teenager expressed "very dark thoughts".

Jack, the nephew of former champion racehorse trainer and novelist Jenny Pitman, was discovered dead in his room at the school in Gloucestershire, where he was a boarder, in October last year.

The inquest in Cheltenham heard that he was prescribed Roaccutane in December 2011 by consultant dermatologist James Milne. He was originally told to take two tablets ? a dose of 40mg ? a day and this was upped to three pills in January 2012. Within days Jack was complaining of having "very dark thoughts", the inquest was told. Staff at Cheltenham College did not consult Milne but reduced the dose to one tablet.

According to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), which regulates medicines in the UK, users of Roaccutane ? also known as isotretinoin ? have reported depression, aggravation of existing depression, aggressive tendencies, anxiety, and changes in mood, though it stresses such reports are rare. It says suicide attempts and suicide have been reported very rarely (in one in every 10,000 patients or fewer).

When Jack returned to school in September after the summer break, he told a matron he had not been taking the medication but wanted to start it again. He took his first pill on 11 October. At around 7am the next day, boarders in his college house discovered his body in his bedroom.

Milne told the inquest he had stressed the importance of being contacted if any side effects developed. But he said he was not told that Jack had spoken of dark thoughts, adding: "It is quite disturbing. I was unaware. If I had been informed that he had dark or suicidal thoughts I would have wanted to stop the drug immediately and for him to see a psychiatrist."

The inquest heard that Jack had argued with his parents in September 2012, two weeks before his death ? something that was "out of character". His final text to his mother had read: "That's you and me finished." The evening before he was found dead he had been researching suicide notes online ? though he did not leave one.

Tom Osbourne, deputy assistant coroner for Gloucestershire, recorded an open verdict, saying there was "insufficient evidence" to prove what caused Jack's death. "It may have been an accident, it may have been suicide, it may have been Roaccutane. There is insufficient evidence."

Osbourne said he was concerned at the way Cheltenham College handled cases of children in crisis. He said: "It seems to me, and I was very surprised, there is no specific suicide prevention policy or crisis policy at the school. This is a matter for concern.

"The school is looking after a client group of 11-to-17-year-olds, the age group where a crisis is likely to arise. They have charge of 600 young people, therefore it is essential that they have sufficient policies."

After the inquest Jack's family criticised the way Cheltenham College staff dealt with his dark thoughts. Simon Medland QC, speaking for Jack's , said: "Our only hope is that out of this tragedy some good may come.

"We hope that all schools will take very seriously any such reports. In this case no detailed notes were made on exactly what Jack said."

In a statement, Dr Alex Peterken, headmaster of Cheltenham College, said: "There was, sadly, no way of knowing that Jack was about to die in the way that he did. He could not have been part of a more supportive and close-knit school and boarding family. In January 2012, concerns over Jack's emotional well-being were discussed with the family and his medication subsequently reduced."

Puma Asks 'What Does Football Mean to You?'

Here's a different way to make use of all those photos stored on our smartphones and digital cameras. Enter them in a Puma campaign with a chance to win $2,000 or potentially earn cash if the brand decides to use the photograph in future marketing.

Puma partnered with Foap, a Swedish-based mobile photo agency for brands, to ask fans "What does football mean to you?" Fans of football and soccer alike can submit their entries in Puma's first mission on the Foap mobile app until July 9.

"You don't need to be a professional photographer to snap great photos now," says David Los, CEO and co-founder at Foap. "We can give brands the engagement and branding that they get from Instagram, but with the difference that they can be in their own image libraries and create value for their marketing divisions."

More than three million photos have been submitted for Foap Missions since the platform launched almost three months ago, says Los. Missions have been issued for other campaigns by brands such as Lavazza, Visit Sweden, Axe, and others.

"If you search for Red Bull or Puma on Google Images you will find millions of photos, but they are just lying there dead. The same thing on Instagram, and nobody can use them," Los says. "We want to change that and make it valuable so users can make money off it and so that the brands can utilize that content as well."

Foap sells the user-submitted photos to brands for $10 and shares half of that with the photographer. Puma sweetened the pot for its first mission by offering a $2,000 prize for the photo that earns the highest ratings from other users that join the promotion.

"It's fantastic to see that this is actually something that brands have been waiting for a lot, especially when it comes to finding content for social media. We have learned that it's very hard for them to find," says Los. "Sometimes you don't need a million photos in one mission to find the correct one. It's good enough if you get thousands of photos, but they are quality ones."

Rutger Hagstad, communications manager at Puma Nordic, tells ClickZ the timing for an experimental campaign like this couldn't have been better. "Being in the Nordics, football for us is huge during the springtime," he says, explaining that the Foap mission came alongside other Puma campaigns for football online and in print.

"At the end, we might use some of these images in our own social media activities and stuff like that. I think if I'm 15 years old uploading a picture on a Puma campaign or competition site and that picture is used I'd be pretty proud," Hagstad tells ClickZ. "We're all looking for new ways to communicate our brand or to connect with our end consumer in a smart way without buying them, so to say, in traditional media but also through Facebook, or Google, whatever. But this is new. We wanted to try it from a Puma Nordic point of view?to see where it could end up and see if we could do something bigger with this going forward, planning football for the World Cup in Rio, for example."

"It's a test," he adds. "Test always sounds negative, but it's a fun test. We want to see where this ends up."

About 300 images were submitted in the first week of the campaign without much promotion on Puma's part, but Hagstad isn't worried about numbers so much as the content itself. "What really caught my eye and passion is the variety. It's not only hardcore football or soccer fans," he says. "It's about joy, which is important to Puma. Joy is a really important ingredient."

This Telescope Shoots Lasers to Unlock the Mysteries of the Cosmos

Ground-based telescopes have long struggled to achieve the image clarity and resolution of their orbiting cousins due in large part to atmospheric distortions. That's why we build observatories on mountain tops: to minimize the amount of atmosphere between the telescope and incoming starlight. But with the help of a cutting-edge adaptive optic system, astronomers are getting an unprecedented and undistorted look at deep space sans the perilous rocket launches.
