Every year or so I hear a repeat repeated variation of a certain story which one might find even charming. The story generally centers around autobody shops and getting a bargain or a deal of a lifetime.
In the classic version of this body shop or even mechanical auto repair shop , the consumer ( owner of the automotive vehicle” ) is either looking for a paint job or mechanical repairs for his vehicle / vehicles – be they car , truck , SUV or even R.V.. . Its often a quote for an old “clunker” or sometimes even a newer model vehicle. Inevitably in this tale the shopper is put off or even intimidated by the questions of local autobody shop repair facilities. It seems like some people are even intimidated by off used words like the word “arbitrary” .
Next our “intrepid hero” starts looking “out of town” . It may be out of the way – say nearby Steinbach or St. Annes Loh and behold – he or she ( the car owner) finds and older fellow – either with or without an auto wrecking yard. The repair shop is immaculate , well kept and clean. Of course that is how the story or tale goes. The car is repaired to pefection – down to the last mechanical or bodywork/ painting detail. The price for the repair job or paint job is so low that the auto owner even tips the repair person. What a deal.
What the teller of the story or tale does not mention – is first of all the extra costs involved. Phone calls , gas out to shop as well as the transport back, arranging to have a friend drive out to the shop. The time it took to get the job finished ( however the auto owner may have an additional vehicle on hand or even as in the case of one Toyota owner whose car was smashed while parked on the road and then was involved with a long course of arbitration and “discussion” with the local auto insurance monopoly, was without a vehicle for a good time period. Lastly the holder of the great new found deal for his auto repair may not relate that while on the drive back from St. Anne’s Manitoba, that the windshield of his newly repaired vehicle was smashed by a rock which was thrown into his windshield by an undetermined or identified truck while the victim of this great deal was returning home with his proud bargain of an auto repair , while driving home on the gravel road from the bargain repair shop. What a schmendrick. It all falls under the guise of false economy and downright foolishness.
