Repair or Replacement of Car Parts?
Lesson #13. By [Automovill.com] powered by {DigiMusk.com}
Which One Shall You Choose?
This question might be a concern to you if your car is aging.
Before reaching any conclusion, you must do your research and calculate all the repercussions.
Let’s first figure out why are you in a fix between these two?
Your car is vibrating from quite a time, or the drive shaft joint is not working and you reach out to a nearby workshop. The representative does a quick inspection and tell you all the problems. He lists down a number of problems and the after effects as well. He suggests you to get the part replaced rather than repairing the part. Reason being the new part will add life to the car and the old part can not be repaired, or can degrade the car by the time.
You ask for the price and he shows you two completely different pricing for repair and replacement. Valid indeed!
Most of the times, you’ll find Cost of repair<< Cost of replacement.
But hold on.
It’s your sense to analyze the investment on both. While, it’s true that a new part will definitely work better than the old one, but is it worth spending for as of now? Ask yourself:
#How much of price difference is there?
#How much sure are you about the quoted price for replacement?
#Is that the MRP or discounted price for replacement?
#Is that a local sourced part or an imported one?
#Is that a branded one or a non-branded?
#What is the actual market price of that part?
And few more…
It is better to do a proper market research before you decide. Most of the times you can save a lot with your wise judgement and this definitely needs your calling!
Other than the above questions, you can also:
#Ask around other workshops and take a second opinion.
#Ask a good reputated local garage if repair could be the best for the present.
#Reach out to us at Automovill and get an educated answer.
