Mystery visits can allow you to carry out complete control of your car without paying every penny.
A real good plan… provided your car is not too old!
I have already told you about the possibility of earning money by being a mystery shopper.
You have certainly since become pros in the art of making ready-to-wear, catering or telephony visits.
What if I told you that I carried out the overhaul of my car for free? Exactly on the same principle!
After registering on several mystery shopper sites such as Qualimétrie or Qualisens, I was contacted by one of them, who offered me a visit to a car garage to have my car serviced.
An overhaul covered up to €300, i.e. the full amount of the overhaul!
Making an appointment, dropping off the car, reviewing, everything has to be assessed in some detail.
A questionnaire noting the reception, the quality of the work or the speed is to be completed following the visit.
It takes a good half hour. But knowing that all the costs (excluding any repairs, of course!) are covered, I think it's fair game.
In the end, for a review of 280 €, I did not spend a penny and I have, in addition, recovered 15 € of salary for the mystery visit and 4 € of mileage costs.
Only downside which I would note:you must have a car less than 10 years old.
So I finally did the mystery tour with my parents' Scenic, newer than my car which is over 10 years old.
I know that this type of visit is also possible to carry out its emptying, supported up to 95 € in general.
What do you think of this possibility of having your car serviced for free? Would you be willing to try? Leave me your opinion in comments.
