@suprememotorclinictiktok: Sometimes when you estimate a repair, you find out it’s going to need more work once you actually tear it down. This is a real life example from one of our own cars. The tip here is simple: Always ask your repair shop how confident they are in the initial estimate and whether it makes more sense to wait until the vehicle is torn down before getting a final repair amount. An estimate is just that, an estimate. Sometimes you don’t know the full extent of the damage until you get inside.
