Do mechanics really overcharge women for repairs? (Page 4)

[blkhermano]

I think they'll overcharge anybody. Hence, why I Google things before taking the car to the shop.

[GD360]

It depends where you go. Sometimes not. I only said yes on vote because of limitation.

[Surely]

Hard to say since I do most of my own work.
Don't forget to include Doctors and Lawyers. Seems to be the American way today.

[Samhanks]

Yes, they may. But whether women or men, if you have zero knowledge of repairs and the way your vehicle works, you may be taken for a ride :)

[Snakeyes7]

I wouldn’t say it’s women specifically, it’s more of people who don’t know what to do with car troubles.

[Dolemite510]

I think so, salesman and repairmen are sharks trying to pull a fast one on anybody they can to get more $$ out of

[Yaminaked]

Some do for sure! Some will overcharge anyone they can. An hones mechanic and an honest used car salesman are a rare find, but they do exist.

[syccc]

I think some people are bad people no matter the job, so they will overcharge but not because of gender but because people are clueless... Just so happens they often tend to be female

[Lance1965]

A lot of them will overcharge anyone if they think they can get away with it.

[Likes2drive]

Yeah I’m sure some do if you’re not aware of what things really cost

[sm775]

Some mechanics will try to overcharge anyone not just women.

[Guanfei]

Mechanics overcharge anyone, if they think the person doesn't know shit about cars.

[xkforcesc2]

From what I've seen, its more likely but usually by mechanics that i wouldn't trust either.

[sonnysunshine]

They can take advantage of naive people. That includes the younger me

[Hurdleez-Swampede]

Only dishonest ones. They assume women aren't as intelligent in auto repairs.

[PrincessGrail]

Some do. That's why I only go to one guy I trust.

[JimRSmith]

A lot of the time, yes.

[someginger]

I think they try and over charge everyone.

[Sevenpointfive]

they try to do it to everyone

[Sweatyotterr]

No they overcharge everybody
