TIPS TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM DUBIOUS COMPANIES

  • Choose local companies that have direct contact persons on their homepage (ideally with photos). In the best case, a company is already familiar to you.
  • Clarify on the phone whether you can pay with a debit card or by invoice: If the company only asks for cash, it is often a dubious company. Also ask for an estimate, if it seems much too expensive, choose another company. If possible, compare two companies.
  • ALWAYS ask for a receipt and write down the name of the professional. Check the receipt: travel time, time for repair, weekend fee. Only pay for services that have actually been performed.
