Mechanic Overcharges Woman $1K for Simple $100 Repair
A TikToker and auto technician, Menjicar, saved a woman nearly $1,000 by cleaning the throttle body of her 2020 Chevy Malibu instead of replacing it, as another shop had suggested. The other shop had quoted her over $1,000 for a new part and service she didn't need. Menjicar's honest approach and significantly lower charge of $100 for cleaning the part garnered praise from viewers.
