Being ripped off - why do people pay?

As a follow on from another thread - I can't understand why people allow themselves to be ripped off say by a garage.

Why don't people get a second opinion before committing to spend £hundreds??

I don't know these people so could t possibly answer of course.

From a personal perspective. I'll always try to find a way to fix a problem myself before I'll commit to paying someone to do it for me. Have saved myself a fortune over the years.

If I suspect I am, I always do

Maybe it's because I've had the ability to either do it myself or simply say 'no'

I'm just really curious now.

because a lot of the time they don't realise they can.

Why would anyone think you can't shop around?

One of my cars had been damaged while parked up. Front grill dented . Asked main dealer for a quote just to replace the grill . Was told just under £400 supply n fit. So I spoke to a friend, who managed to find one on Ebay... Was delivered n friend fitted it all for £17.50! Result! Who said blondes are dumb!? Lol

To be sort of fair to the dealer they can only replace with new to avoid warranty issues / comeback.

Convenience. People often leave these things till the last minute and don't have time to shop around.
