The worth of a mechanic isn’t measured by how many coupons they put in the paper, or how big and flashy their ads are. It's measured by real, honest reviews of the business, as well as providing certainties like fixed price upfront quotes, and warranties. Don’t just look for the lowest price with car repair (or even a discounted price through coupons), look for the best value... sometimes that will mean paying a little more initially, but not going away feeling ripped off.

They're willing to lose money on them if they can upsell you on something else.

From now on, don't wait till the end to present the coupon, go in from the start with both yourself and the shop aware of the coupon and that you don't want them to do anything else. There are too many places that will take advantage of your ignorance. better yet, find a mechanic you can trust, who charges fair, and you won't need silly coupons the trick to making the most of these coupons is to only approve the work you will get discounted for. it is unethical and n most places quite illegal for a repair shop to perform work without your approval and make you pay for that work.
