like anything else, if people actually spent more than 2 seconds getting to know the multi-thousand dollar investments that they trust as their personal transportation, maybe it wouldn’t be so easy to scam them. just assume some responsibility for knowledge of your vehicle’s maintenance, it’s not a ridiculously hard concept.

You worked tech support you know they won’t even bother to learn about their $500 investments. Let alone something complex like a car. 🙂
