Title: Ebay selling auto repair services
Post by Abndanger on Mar 16^th, 2015 at 4:46pm

Hey Guys

Seen this in the ratchet wrench magazine.
http://www.ratchetandwrench.com/RatchetWrench/March-2015/eBay-Begins-Selling-Auto-Repair-Services/

If there is not enough problems already in our industry. Why is the automotive field picked on so much.

Customers need to realize without their vehicle they drive is one of their most prized items. Just think. Without a vehicle how would hour life be? Is it because vehicles are disposable?

I know in the article it is starting in Germany etc. Will they promote quality and service or will it be cost driven. Those of you who are business owners know what I mean.

"A recent RepairPal survey found that 81 percent of consumers want quality first;"

So question.............

Ebay ,m Gates etc....all of the thieving wankers....can they really impact upon what we do?

The local BMW dealer says that I do not know what I'm doing and that people should go to them.

How many BMW's do I have in my workshop now that the dealers have been unable or have mis diagnosed?

Do you think these entities can knock us off our perch?

The simple truth is that that requires work not a commercial transaction.

Abndanger......you may sleep easy tonight my good friend ;)

BRAVO TOM....we all love you

P.S......the latest is a SMG where the local dealer refered the customer to me....

They could not diagnose it..I have done it with my Picoscope.

Fact is the dealer could not actually understand my analysis without me sitting down and explaining it to them !!!!!!
