Automotive RepairRepair and Maintenance Decisions4HighOwner$ implied
Vehicle owner lacks trust in dealership mechanic's handling of a repair, suspecting they caused additional damage and overcharged for unnecessary parts.
No clear system for transparency in repair process; customer cannot verify what the mechanic actually did vs. what they claim. Relies on GPS and app alerts to infer mishandling.
