Are automotive shops ripping you off? Let's talk about it. Here's how to know if it's legit or you're being hustled. Now it's time to expose the truth. But this right here is gonna piss some people off. So let's say you go in there and get two tires, four tires, and the person behind the counter say, hey, let's, we need to go ahead and do an alignment on this car. Well, don't, don't just do that. A lot of times they're just padding their pockets. You don't need an alignment a lot of times. Now I'm gonna tell you, there is times that you do need alignment depending on how your tires are wearing. Do not let these people get over on you. Just look at your tires, see if they're wearing even. If they're wearing even. Don't spend the money. So when it comes to tires, you don't necessarily need the most expensive tires. The good years, the Nittos, the Pirellis, whatever it may be, it doesn't matter. There's a lot of good tires that are lower priced options. So a lot of times these bigger corporations, you know, they have certain deals with certain manufacturers, they have to push these certain products. Don't just let them push certain products on you because there are tires that are just as good, that are less expensive.
