When you bring your car to the dealership for service, how do you know what they recommend is what’s really needed? Marketplace rigs up “bait cars” and exposes aggressive upselling and careless inspections.
Most people don’t realise "service advisers" who tell you what's wrong with your car aren't mechanics at all. They're actually salespeople.
We interview a former service adviser who admits he was sometimes on 100% commission and that’s why he often felt pressured to recommend maintenance that’s not required.
In one of our hidden camera examples, a consumer gets up-sold on brake repairs she doesn’t need, but she isn't told about a safety recall her car really needs: her Honda Civic has one of those faulty Takata airbags.

We're back on the case, investigating our top scams and schemes: tracking annoying telemarketers, fake reviewers, and a pricey bracelet with health claims that are beyond belief.
In 2013 Canadians were telling Marketplace the long-awaited Do Not Call list was not stopping some telemarketers. And they were still getting those annoying
calls over and over. The CRTC said it couldn't crack down because it couldn't track the companies responsible. But we did. So did the government follow up?
Do you rely on online reviews? Do you trust testimonials from the people or so-called professionals who claim to endorse a product or service? Marketplace tracked down one of the most prolific reviewers for cash. She's a Canadian and posed online as a financial advisor, health care expert and regular Jane. We confronted her last year, and now we're checking in to see if she's still in business.
And would you spend $200 on a bracelet that would make you feel better — maybe even take away your pain? The Q-ray bracelet brought in millions of dollars before authorities in the US cracked down and called it "a scheme" meant "to defraud consumers out of millions."
Meanwhile, the owners had set up shop in Canada. Watch as Wendy Mesley challenges the marketers and owner of this jewelry business.
