Most technicians want to do a good job, but even the best technician can lose focus, try to cut corners or just have a bad day. Other times even the best intentions are no match for outside forces or missing information.
We’ve reached out to the industry to collect repair horror stories to use as a way to reinforce important lessons.
The following tales from repair garages, manufacturers and suppliers should not be interpreted to imply a shop is bad, or that a particular manufacturer or supplier makes shoddy parts Instead, we hope to illustrate problems that can occur in any shop or with any part.
In fact, we thank the brave souls who conquered their demons and shared their terrifying tales with us so that we could pass them on to you.
The Perilous Path
Sometimes having the right authorizations or tracing a problem back to the original source can save your shop from a disastrous outcome.
