Before you dive headfirst into expensive auto repairs on your European automobile, give us a call here at Euro Autoworks. We will inspect your vehicle and give you a free second opinion on the proposed repair work. This benefits you in many ways, which we’ll discuss in greater detail below. You and your car deserve the best, and being taken advantage of is never, ever an option. Let’s talk about the importance of second opinions on automotive repairs.
When Another Opinion Is Necessary
Unless you are certain the proposed work is necessary, such as new brake pads because your brakes are grinding every time you stop your car, it’s a good idea to get a second opinion on auto services that are extensive or expensive. We hate to say it because your trust is so important to us, but there are auto mechanics and dealer service centers that take advantage of customers. They propose a ton of extra work that just isn’t necessary to boost their profits. If you are hesitant to believe the work proposed by another mechanic is necessary, get a second opinion just to make sure.
Auto Repairs That Break the Bank
There are many automobile repairs that break the bank, and they may be necessary, but when you get a repair estimate that gives you a heart attack when you look at the total, get a second opinion. Aside from an engine rebuild or total engine replacement, the most expensive repairs to your European automobile include replacing the
- Catalytic converter, which can cost $1,500 or more
- Head gasket, which can cost $2,000 or more
- Camshaft, which can cost $3,000 or more
- Suspension, which can cost $3,500 or more
- Transmission, which can $4,000 or more
- Cylinders, which can cost as much as $10,000
Your expensive repairs might be caused by a part that damages the engine, such as the timing belt. When a timing belt breaks, it can wipe out the cylinders, pistons, and valves, which adds up to a huge repair bill. Replacing the timing belt at 60,000 miles helps prevent this disaster from happening.
2nd Opinion Advantages
There are many advantages to securing a second opinion on your car repairs, and if the extra inspection doesn’t cost a dime, what have you got to lose? For example, a second opinion will
- Give you peace of mind that all of the repairs are, indeed, necessary
- Give you the knowledge you need to make an educated decision about the car repairs
- Reduce the repair bill if it’s determined all of the proposed work is not necessary
