It’s hard to find an honest mechanic these days…

And here’s yet another example of that phenomenon.

A mechanic named Valeriy posted a video on TikTok and showed viewers how some auto repair workers out there might be pulling a fast one on them when it comes to their air filters.

Valeriy filmed what is essentially a skit and, acting as a mechanic, he removed the air filter from a car.

The TikTok video then showed him intentionally getting the air filter dirty over a garbage can.

The video then shows him holding up the dirty air filter and he tells a supposed customer, “I’ll show you your cabin air filter. It looks like it needs to be replaced.”

How many times have you fallen for this?!?!

Here’s the video.
