Many companies have began to use the catch phrase “Consumer advocate” to appeal to Americans since of fair play to cash in. They do this by setting up websites to provide information and then do not have actual people to assist consumers. Information by itself is not the total solution to the issue that consumers face of being overcharged for repairs to there cars. Consumers need help to navigate the information provided and support to back up that information that is real, not just virtual concepts. Consumer advocacy began as a movement to protect consumers from being taken, not just monetarily but subliminally as well. The term a wolf in sheep clothing comes to mind when we hear of some websites that are capturing people attention only to direct them towards the parent for profit companies commercial outlet for auto parts or repair facilities that they own or do business with to supply parts too. HAE does allow auto repair shop to interact with consumers to provide repairs, but HAE has “Hands on” oversight of this process to ensure the positive out come for both the consumer and the repair shop. Through this medium HAE has helped and gained the respect of thousands of consumers all over the U.S. It can be a great partnership between consumer and advocate as long as the consumer is the reason for the relationship and not the bottom line of the parent company selling parts or repairs. We would ask that you investigate any website calling them selves a “Consumer advocate” to find the source of that company and their motives for providing help. It’s kind of like knowing why someone is holding the door open for you, are they trying to help or just trap you inside?
