Some mechanics must think people are stupid!

I remember when at Auto bastards we would personally get $2 for each $12 additive we put into a customers car, $10 was the most you could make each car as there were only 5 additives we could use, I personally used to get a extra $150 per week which used to help when you got $350 a week and the mortgage was $320, we had guys that would make more from the additives than their wage, so I know why some workers upsell for the company.

If the customer disputed the additive charges, they just deducted it from the total, im sure the actual cost of the additive would have only been $1

1on't have the Ability,Knowledge or facility to do it themselves.
2:Have some of the above but are too lazy to do the job themselves.
Though knowing it wont be up to their high standards.
