Tired of wondering if you’re getting the whole story at the repair shop? Join us for our next community workshop where we pull back the curtain on the auto repair industry and teach you how to spot a good mechanic, understand what you’re paying for, and communicate like a pro.

This 90-minute class is part myth-busting session, part survival guide — built to help you feel confident, informed, and empowered when choosing and working with a repair shop. Whether you’re new in town, switching shops, or just curious about how it all works behind the scenes, this one’s for you.

🔧 What We’ll Cover:

🏁 Identifying the 6 Stereotypical Shops (and Their Pros & Cons)
Learn to recognize common shop types — from the chain store to the one-person operation — and understand what to expect from each.

🦄 Does a Unicorn Shop Exist?
We’ll talk about what makes a truly great shop, and how to tell when you’ve found one that matches your values and needs.

💵 What Your Money is Really Buying
Get a transparent look at where your dollars go — from labor rates to parts pricing — and why those numbers exist.

🏗️ Inside the Shop Walls
Understand how a shop’s internal structure (techs, writers, management) shapes your experience as a customer.

🧾 Part Markups Explained
We’ll discuss why markups exist, how they keep shops running, and what a fair markup actually looks like.

💬 The Power of Overcommunication
Learn why asking more questions makes you a better customer — and how it actually builds trust on both sides.

🛡️ Accountability in Recommendations
Spot the difference between helpful maintenance advice and upselling.

❓ The Right Questions to Ask Your Service Advisor
Build confidence with a few key questions that help you make informed repair decisions — without the pressure.

🌈 The Vibe:
This is a no-shame, inclusive space where curiosity is encouraged and knowledge is shared openly. We’ll have snacks, good conversation, and maybe a few laughs about “that one time” at the mechanic’s.

Come curious. Leave confident. And maybe — just maybe — find your unicorn shop.
