Dishonest shops often double-dip labor when billing multiple Op Codes. For example, if parts must be removed to access Wheel Alignment, they shouldn't bill full Book Time for both codes.
Selling an alignment when it’s not needed - e.g., after a tire rotation or even an oil change (“we recommend alignment” as a blanket upsell); offering “lifetime” alignment packages which only pay off if you actually need frequent alignments; not doing a proper alignment but charging for it (hard for customer to verify without a printout).
