I had two separate very small repairs done there months ago, where I felt that I liked the place, the family, and the way they worked. I felt happy that I finally found a reasonable, dependable, and honest car mechanic close by.
Unfortunately, and shockingly, the third visit took a dramatic turn to unimaginable territory, causing me to change my opinion about Chavez Auto.
But instead of getting into details, I'll continue now with my generalized opinions and recommendations for the general public, because I believe that is more beneficial for everyone reading this.
I would like to remind to the Chavez team that 'survival of the fittest' also applies to companies. If the company isn't fit, it won't survive. Losing "fitness" can happen when customers seek services elsewhere, or tell other customers about their experience with the company, or, worse, get legal assistance in securing and defending their interests and legal property. The term "fittest" doesn't refer to muscle strength, physical fitness, or being in a position that makes it easier to extort others. Rather, "fit" means, in the context of companies, to successfully honor contracts, and to do so in a way that causes customers to leave with a positive feeling of the company and the work performed. All of this necessitates, naturally, obeying the law and regulations of this country.
Everyone in the U.S. should inform themselves about the ramifications and intricacies of U.S. contract law and tort law. The directors of Chavez Auto, for example, could use this insight to analyze the level of harmony between their business practices and these laws.
Generally speaking, before you visit a mechanic or decide to become one, it makes sense perusing the aspects of contract law concerning the enforceability of verbal contracts and which remedies are available in case of contract breach. Everyone should know how and why extortion are inappropriate; hence, it is not one of the acceptable remedies for breach of contract, and especially not for the party breaching the contract.
There's so much to contract and tort law, so taking a course or buying a book would probably be a good start. It will help you in becoming a well-informed customer, such as to know your legal rights, and it will definitely help if you are interested in starting and running a successful business. read more
