About this listen

A mechanic used a scripted “chewed-wires” fear play to charge thousands — and victims were left with empty bank accounts. Listen this breakdown to spot the red flags, protect your money, and demand proof.

Immediate actions if you suspect a scam:
  1. Ask for photos/video of the damage & the old parts before any work begins.
  2. Get an independent second opinion — don’t accept only the shop’s word.
  3. Require a detailed, itemized written estimate and refuse verbal-only quotes.
  4. If keys are held hostage, contact local consumer protection / police and document everything
