My car which cost $4k three years ago and which I recently replaced the windshield on for $1.5 broke down a few days ago. Can't even drive it. The workshop says it's the clutch and costs $3k to fix. I guess there's nothing else to do but scrap it, right?
>>

>$1.5
*$1.5k
>>
>>28743939
$1.5k for a windshield??? you got scammed nigga
$3k for a clutch is also a scam

can you even get a decent car for $3k? you might as well fix it
>>
>>28743939
>Being wrenchlet
>And retarded
>Get scammed
Many other case
>>
>>28743939
if it's an automatic then yeah, you'll have to scrap it. the $3k price is real.

if it's manual then it'd cost like $1,200

I paid the full price for the windshield myself because it happened before I got insurance and I didn't want to have on my conscience to commit insurance fraud. It's a windshield with rain sensor and heating. How is it a scam? A scam involves making money. They're not making money on me if I don't get the job done and have it scrapped instead. What do you suggest then, that I have the car towed to another workshop? Because I can't drive it to another workshop.

What kind of car is this?
>>
>>28744173
doesn't matter, I paid for the windshield, that's not what I'm asking about
>>
>>28744169
Just pay whatever the men with the tools are asking, after all you're only good for watching from the chair.
>>
>>28744179
They say they have to disassemble the gearbox. If you know how to do that by yourself, good for you. I don't think it's worth it to pay as much as the car is worth. I've paid more for repairs than I bought shitboxes for before, but this time it's probably just time to get another car.

>1.5k for a windshield

Unless its a DCT?
lol wtf is wrong with America
I have no idea how much would a new windshield cost on my car but I assure you a new (manual traner)clutch for my BMW 316i would be 500 eurodollars TOPS
>>
>>28744197
They have to detach the gearbox from the engine, they don't have to take it apart.

Why did you make this thread if you already decided to watch from the chair?

did you buy like a 2009 5 series or audi something with an infinite mile glitch? how the fuck did it cost 1.5k to replace a windshield, even without insurance covering part of it. and what kind of fuckass car costs $3k to replace the clutch on
>>
>>28744215
Do you suggest I ask some ghetto workshop how much they would charge and have it towed to there? I don't remember all the details he told me about what was wrong and what they needed to do, sadly, or rather I didn't pick it up, was kind of tired. They'd probably have to do another diagnosis. I don't think it's a scam because how are they scamming a customer if that customer walks away without getting the job done? I have until tomorrow to make a decision.
>>
Maybe I'll have it towed to a ghetto workshop I know nearby, and if they can do it cheaply fine I'll do it, if they also charge a high price then I'll scrap it. I was kind of pissed at them because they changed a bearing just a few weeks before the car started showing problems, so I thought it was because of that, and then the way they acted when I asked about that, but this other workshop says it's not related to the bearing, so I guess I'll just forgive their reaction.

what car
>>
>>28744169
insurance companies commit fraud all the time by refusing to pay claims, but you feel bad about "scamming" the poor multi-billion dollar corporation. they quoted 3k for a clutch because they see a retard that is easy to take advantage of. you deserve it.

2006 ford focus

>>28744280
The workshop doesn't know anything about the windshield, how would they? Everybody is held accountable for their own sins. The fact that somebody sins against you is no excuse to sin against them.
>>
>>28744287
Here's a bit of irony: half of Ford Focus drivers have A.D.D.
>>
>>28744291
oh, you're a christcuck. this whole thread makes so much more sense now.
>>
>>28744304
Learn basic logic. You know nothing about argumentation. Every post you have made has been of zero value.

My car payment is the cost of your car kek

>>28744594
damn you must be making at least $200k a year right?
>>
>>28744291
say someone steals something from you without asking. is it a sin to take it back?
>>
>>28744594
So? I haven't seen even one argument in this thread. You're all utter brainlets. I get more out of asking chatgpt or talking to a wall than asking here.
>>
>>28744594
Not much of a brag.
>>
>>28744242
For pointing out the truth? The alternative is you watch some Pablo's diy video on youtube and try repairing it yourself, but we all know how that's going to go.

I had the transmission swapped in my truck along with about a dozen other things (oil pan, all the fluids, water pump, starter, and a couple other minor things) in 2022. That cost me 2k, I just replaced the windshield on it this year for $300 and that was with installation.
I have no idea how you managed to get fucked so hard, this is so absurd I refuse to believe it's even real, even the piece of shit Ford I have from 2002 was only quoted at 3k to rebuild the engine. The only way I can see what you described happening is if you bought some eurotrash or a Chrysler, in which case you deserve everything you get.
>>
>>28744092
Not OP but my Volvo windshield was $1500 to replace with OEM glass at a reputable shop. After the windshield is replaced they have to recalibrate the cars sensors and shit to make sure the safety features like collision avoidance don’t malfunction since there are sensors behind the windshield. That’s what drives up the cost. Safe lite would’ve done it for like $400 with some Chinese glass but my deductible was $500 so might as well pay the extra $100 to have it done right with good materials.
>>
>>28744022
Brother I live to read these threads oh my god wrenchlet suffering is such a beautiful thing
>>
>>28744291
you are geniunely retarded, the windshield has nothing to do with the clutch scam, i am implying what they see is a gullible retard from your mere presence alone. clearly evident from your dickshit posturing this entire thread. get fucked faggot.
