Urban Life: Our Youth

Integrity Auto Repair.

I hit a black dog on the way to get off work, which damaged the bumper and the bottom of the water tank. The water tank leaked, so I went to a nearby repair shop for repairs. Unexpectedly, Master Zhen opened the hood and said, :"You got Fooled."

"Master Zhen, please be more specific. How did I get fooled?"

"Let's talk about the three-way catalytic converter first. The assembled three-way catalytic converter is only worth about two hundred yuan at most, but he charges you 700 yuan. This is one of the reasons. In addition, do you feel that the car is weak and noisy? Already?"

"Yes, you're absolutely right," I said.

"Your original three-way catalytic converter is generally not broken. Do you know how much that accessory is worth?" Master Zhen asked.

"I'm a layman, how do I know?"

"The original three-way catalytic converter is worth at least more than 3000 yuan, but you didn't ask for it and gave it to him as scrap. That's why he sent you for maintenance," Master Zhen said, "You really Do you think he would be so kind and give you a maintenance session for free? As the saying goes, there is no free lunch in the world."

"More than 3000 yuan?" When I heard this, my head was buzzing.

"Also, he told you that the clutch, flywheel and other accessories were not replaced at all. This is also the reason why your car still often stalls and has no power after it was repaired. He just made simple repairs, except for the three yuan Catalysis, did he show you the other replaced parts?" Master Zhen asked.

"No, I just saw a three-way catalytic converter." I said.

"Because he didn't change it at all, what did he show you?" Master Zhen said, "Also, he asked you for 600 yuan in labor hours, which is too high! Three hundred yuan is already an overcount. "

"What are you talking about? He didn't replace these accessories at all? But he charged me so much money!" I asked.

"Yes!"

"Are you sure?"

"I'm [-]% sure." Master Zhen said.

"This bastard, I have introduced so many businesses to him, but he treats me like this. No wonder my car has more and more problems as it gets repaired." I couldn't help but curse.

"Little brother, you will gain wisdom after every experience. You have to be more careful in the future." Master Zhen said.

"Thank you for your advice, master."

Then he lifted my car up and installed another nut on the bottom of the water tank. Then he lowered the car and added a bucket of antifreeze.

"In my opinion, you don't need to replace this bumper for the time being. What's broken is just a layer of plastic shell on the surface, but the bumper inside is intact. Although it doesn't look good, it doesn't affect its use. , you can replace it together when there is another fault next time." Master Zhen said.

"Okay, how much is the total?"

"Fifty," he said.

"Thank you."

After I paid the bill, I got in the car and went straight to Zhao Zhenglong.

Zhenglong Maintenance Department.

"Zhao Zhenglong, come out!" After I arrived at Zhao Zhenglong's repair department, I got out of the car angrily.

Zhao Zhenglong and his wife heard the sound and hurriedly came out. Seeing my livid face, he asked a little guilty: "Brother, what's wrong?"

"Shut up! Who is your brother? Let me ask you, is the three-way catalytic converter in my car broken or not?" I asked suppressing my anger.

"It's broken. It's because it's blocked that your car has no power and can't drive." He heard that my tone was not good and he said with evasive eyes.

"Then where did you put the three-way catalytic converter you removed from my car? I want to take it back for testing." I said.

"I'm sorry, I asked you at that time if you still wanted the dismantled three-way catalytic converter. You clearly said you didn't want it, so a rag collector came over this afternoon, so I sold it as rags." Zhao Zhenglong explain.

"What? You sold it, how much did you sell it for?"

"Sold for ten yuan," he said.

"You're talking nonsense! I've already asked about that three-way catalytic converter. It's worth at least more than 3000 yuan. Even if you sell junk, it still costs more than 2000 yuan. I now ask you to remove this one from the car and replace it with my original one. Replace the three-way catalytic converter." I said.

"Li Shaozhe, aren't you trying to make things difficult for others? I already told you that it has been sold as junk. Where can I find it? Besides, you can't buy the original three-way catalytic converter at all. You can only buy high imitations. The one I installed for you is not unusable, so why do you have to replace it?" he said.

"The thing you installed is not a three-way catalytic converter at all. It can only be regarded as an iron chimney. The combustion is insufficient. The car has no power and cannot climb hills. This car is about to undergo its annual inspection and it will not pass the test."

"Who said that? I have sold a lot of this three-way catalytic converter. I am not selling it to you alone. Everyone can use it, so why can't you use it?" Zhao Zhenglong said.

"Let me ask you again, have you replaced the clutch, flywheel and other accessories you mentioned, or have you not?" I asked.

"I...I...," Zhao Zhenglong said hesitantly, "I must have changed."

"Did you really change it? If you really changed it, bring me all the old things that you have dismantled." I said.

"You didn't even ask for these dismantled old parts. I sold them all when I was selling junk this afternoon. Where are the others?" He said, "If you wanted them at that time, I would definitely give them to you. "

"Zhao Zhenglong must have professional ethics when doing business and integrity as a person. Besides, I have introduced you to so many customers. My original three-way catalytic converter is not broken at all, but you said it was broken and took it apart to sell it." "Yes, you didn't change the other accessories at all, but you charged me so much money, how can you bear it?" I said loudly.

"Li Shaozhe, did you listen to the instigation of your colleagues and then come to me to mess around? You know, your colleagues are enemies. Your car is obviously clogged with the three-way catalytic converter, so I suggested that you replace it. This is also what happened. You agree, if the clutch, flywheel and other accessories are not replaced, then how can your car drive? Besides, I also sent you for maintenance!" He said.

"Zhao Zhenglong, stop pretending in front of me. You have to compensate me for my losses today. Otherwise, I will report you." I said loudly.

At this time, many people gathered around from the neighbors to watch, and most of them were car repairmen in this row.

"I didn't expect this person named Zhao to be this kind of person, trying to harm customers."

"Isn't that right? When I look at him, he is not a good person."

"What you don't know is that he cheated and kidnapped in Shanghai and did all kinds of bad things. He couldn't survive anymore, so he came back to open a store."

"It's really a dog can't change eating shit."

"This young man is really unlucky. Why did he think of going to his house to repair his car?"

"If he dared to treat me like this, I would smash his store."

"If someone like this introduces business to him, wouldn't that mean he's cheating all his relatives and friends?"

"..."

Everyone was pointing and talking.

When Zhao Zhenglong's wife saw that the situation was not good, she hurriedly came over and said: "Shaozhe, you see you have been repairing cars here for more than a day or two. We have always gotten along well, just like friends. If you have any questions, we will come into the shop." Tell me carefully, if you have any requirements, just say it and we can discuss it, what do you think?"

When I saw that Zhao Zhenglong's wife had a pretty good attitude, I said, "It's not that I want to cause trouble for you, nor that I want to embarrass you, but what Master Zhao did is really unacceptable."

"Shaozhe, I understand that he was confused for a moment and his heart was clouded by lard. I will criticize him severely when I look back. Let's go into the store and sit down to talk slowly."
