Where Is The Trust? Crossing The Line Or Not!!!

Recently, I had a starter replaced in my car at a auto repair shop that I have gone to before.  Over a year ago, the shop gave me a huge rundown on what was wrong with my car, it was something I didn't ask because I was there for a specific repair. The shop manager presented me a rundown that was two pages. Ouch!!!

This time, the shop manager told me I should consider getting another car even though my car still runs fine and all it  needed was a new starter. Then, he told me, he had a personal car for sale. The car was totally not me.

I thought about the moment, if he was telling me that my car which was still running good,  should be replaced, so I would buy his car. My car isn't in the greatest shape, but it gets me from here to there.




Is this a good business moment that is in the best interest of me (the customer) or was the shop manager trying to sell something that benefits him personally.

Can I really trust the shop manager to give me a true evaluation of my car situation? Or was the shop manager making the situation seem worse to make a sale.

Could I be looking at this situation, too hard and he's actually looking out for me? I'm not sure.

Has this happen to anyone else?  Leave a commit below.
