We already know how easy it is to be ‘taken’ in the automotive repair world. Regardless of your situation, it is hard to find an automotive engine supplier, a car dealer, or any automotive related business who is on the level. Especially on the service side. Parts are easier to sort out in terms of quality, but then again, how do you know you got the “best parts”?
What I’m about to direct you to is an article on Deceptive Auto Advertising by the Office of the Attorney General, Consumer Frauds Bureau of New York. The basic idea here is New York law prohibits false, deceptive and misleading advertising. I’m very sure every state has similar laws. Florida does, I know because I live here and owned a repair shop for over 25 years (sold it three and a half years ago) and I had to abide by the laws.
I found that being honest and sincere was the best way to do business. Sensationalistic claims, scaring people or forced sales were not even in my repertoire, simply put, I did not feel comfortable BSing people, so I did not. The wonderful thing about the truth is it draws good customers who really want repairs or parts. Smart consumers should not be fooled by some of the tactics used in the article I linked to above. Good ain’t cheap and cheap ain’t good.
The reality is I was selling myself. It was easy to gain a customers confidence. I told the truth and didn’t candy coat it. I recommenced what is in their best interest, not my best interest. And when some body needed a rebuilt engine, we knew exactly who to buy it from. The truth is we were a transmission shop, and did our own rebuilding. Sometimes, for really good customers we would break our rules and install a rebuilt engine for them.
We did not rebuild engines. We purchased all of our replacement engines from GotEngines.com because on the occasions we used their services, we were treated in a friendly and professional manner, we always got the exact engine we ordered, always on time. The best part was after we prepared the vehicle for the fresh engine, we dropped it in, hooked it up and it ran perfectly every time. That is the way it is supposed to be, trust me, when you need a rebuilt engine, GotEngines.com is your only choice. Call 1-877-268-0664.


“Good ain’t cheap and cheap ain’t good” – so true! Customers respond to authenticity and excellent service. Dealing with high-quality suppliers and rebuilders and being upfront about cost has far more long-term benefits than the alternative.
Thanks for the article!
