How to save both money and brain damage -

This economy is causing a lot of financial stress for everyone. Buying a new car is out of the question for most people, so maintaining your existing one is very important. The temptation to go to the cheapest shop (and there will always be one) is strong and I understand that. You need to stretch those dollars as far as you can.

However, it is important that you understand that it is impossible to give good value cheaply. It is a fact that it has become very expensive to be a repair shop. Over-all, cheap general car repairs are a myth. There are many -many- cleaver ways to cheat customers. $99 brake jobs and $19 oil changes do not exist. Shops would go out of business if they were real. Such pricing is a trick to get you in the door. You or someone else eventually pays for that loss.

ScandiaTek is priced to give you the best overall VALUE for your money. Truthful value... not just head games as is so common these days. There is ALWAYS someone out there that will do it cheaper.... but will it be done correctly? Was it really needed? Will it break again? Will they be there tomorrow to warranty the work?

The point is, the price is only part of the relationship. Pay a cheap price that doesn't repair the car and you'll know what I mean. How does one put a price on Honesty - Professionalism - Quality - and Fairness ? How many times must you be cheated to learn this?

The best way to save money is to do business with a shop that has no motivation to cheat you. ScandiaTek will pass every test to prove to you we won't.


We at ScandiaTek, will always do our best to keep your costs and visits to a minimum, to give you advice that will save you money, and to make your visit as pleasant, valuable, and stress free as possible. My shop has always delivered an honost, value driven relationship, that produces the lowest cost for you in the long run.

** Always beware of company reviews out on the open Internet. Businesses can hire professional companies to write favorable reviews as well as remove bad ones. Also, unprofessional competitors, angry people with other agendas, and friends of the owner, can further write whatever they want, whether or not it is true. The link here is to an independent company that asks our customers what they think after they visit ScandiaTek, and is posted by them. These are real customers that have been to our shop.

If your ever unhappy with us, just tell us... we will work VERY hard to correct it. Most businesses will!

 Straight talk

Things we don't do:


We need to see your car to accurately estmate a repair. We are sticklers about accuracy. Do you really need what someone else says you need? How immediate is the need? Is it more or less intensive? Is there something else going on that's more important? If you are just price shopping without concern for other values, we are not the cheapest. If you are trying to find out who gives the best value, you'll need to try us to find out. We'll work hard to prove we are, which is the way it's suppose to happen. Every month we get in cars that don't need what others have told them...


Coupons. Discounts. It's all hocus pocus. What you loose on one thing you must make up for on something else. It also promotes cheating. Furniture gets marked way up then "discounted". It's just a game to get you in the door. We want to "earn" your business, not fool you into it. However, we will be the first to invest into a new customer relationship with an inspection of their car. It costs us about $120. The reason it's an investment is because we hope to -earn- a return. We get a return because most people find it valuable to learn about us and their cars needs and "return". Because you are so important, WE spend the first buck.


Modern cars are very complex. The equipment to work on them, and the cost of running an honest business, is very expensive. This is reality. There is always someone out there "cheaper" or willing to commit financial suicide, or ready to trick you. The real problems are the shops that lure you in with an artificial low price just to zap you once your there. We are priced honestly and fairly everytime which is still competitive with other quality shops.


We must provide the parts in order to warranty the work and be covered by our insurance... and we never do work we cannot warranty. We must make a profit on parts and labor, like all shops, to stay in business. Of course you can buy the same part cheaper. But can you diagnose, install and warranty it? What happens if we install your part and it fails, or doesn't fix the car? I mean really, would you go into a resturant with your own steak and ask the chef to cook it up?



You will rightfully demand that we warranty our work. We can't if the other shop, or you, were wrong about what was needed, and it doesn't fix the car.... with ours we can. Misdagnosis occurs too often. If we do it and are wrong, you don't pay! We have found that many times diagnosis from other shops was wrong and slanted at selling unneeded parts.



We turn certain kinds of work away as politley as we can. If we can not be of value to you, we would rather have no work, than to "steal" work. Fixing a $500 widget on a 200,000 mile car with the transmission failing is what I'm talking about. Getting that same car in for the first time not running, and not being able to test drive it first, is another example. Never ever be insulted if we say no thanks. Ethics, accuracy and completeness are more important than profit.


While we are good at our jobs, we are humans and we make mistakes. But we always admit and correct those mistakes if given a chance to. Understand that even the medical profession makes mistakes. Car repair is NOT an exact science and cars are FAR from perfect in design. We'll earn your trust when things go well... and even if they don't.


Hacking is doing the lowest quality, patch it together work possible. It is happening more often these days. The owner is happy until it fails again, which it usually does in a short amount of time. The other problem is that hack work usually causes problems with other associated parts and systems. In hack work incorrect and/or used parts are installed, or things bypassed making diagnosis and other work almost impossible, adding expense in the future. This causes other failures... and so on. In the end, no one wins and everyone is mad. We are getting in more cars to straighten out these days where it is too late. We do it right or we will not do it at all.
