I'm not sure if it's a universal thing, but it seems like every body shop tries to scam their clients in some way.

When I went in for purely cosmetic repairs, they disconnected my electronics and tried to get me to pay them to fix it, even though it was working fine before I brought the vehicle in.

What sort of scummy fucks have you had to deal with?

"Friend" of the family was the mechanic at a local service station. Would give me what I thought was discounts.

In reality, after a few thousand dollars, he made a comment to a fellow workmate "That he didn't know why I kept bringing the car back for work. It was a bomb and I should've gotten rid of it years ago". He however was quiet happy to work on it when asked.

Didn't realise I overheard the comments.

It took a couple more of these sorts of incidents before I stopped trusting people in general.

Edit: First car when still in high school early University.
