For and against the repair work in expensive services and garages have always existed. Today, there are more and more reasons to refuse the help of sub-masteries in garages. The quality of their work deserves distrust at all levels, claims take quite aggressively, there are no guarantees, the problems after their work begin literally at once (worst of all, if they close). The only plus that was before was the low price. Today, the price in such a service can turn out to be just a robbery.
After driving your Lanosa 310 thousand, it's time to do everything in a circle. Everything that concerned the running gear, engine, brakes, etc. has been tested on professional diagnostic equipment and brought to mind in a certified service. On all works the guarantee is received. I must say that the warranty has already expired, did not have to apply.
It was decided to save money on painting. Painting was to be done in a circle. They started looking for a garage. Found, of course. There, too, they work on the record, give checks, guarantees, etc. The most frustrating thing is when you think that there is only one more thing left to do, and a complete overhaul of the entire machine is ready for the next run. At the most inopportune moment past the parked at the entrance (not yet painted, waiting for the queue on the record) Lanos was not a very balanced person. He was strong and nervous enough to break his own windshield. There was no limit to grief from the seen web. The glass had to be changed. The manager for spare parts offered to choose an original and non-original glass. Naturally, the price differed twice. In a certified service for replacement of auto glass was asked for work and glass 4500 rubles. The glass itself costs 2500.
In the garage, in which the whole car had to be dismantled for painting, they assured that they would install the new glass for free. One will be removed, the other will be inserted into the assembly. It was decided to take the non-original version and give it to the garage. In the end, and the car is not new, and make there with the same hands as in the certified one. The guys did well, took some money. For a long enough period of time we did not have to go to the track. In the city you will not go more than 60, so the problem was not noticed immediately.
Although there was a call. Winter was very cold. The car sleeps in the street. Unlike the previous winters (before the repair), we had to clean not only the outside of the windows, but also the inside of them with a scraper. The layer on the glass inside was sometimes thick enough with a pattern from Santa Claus. But even then they wrote everything down for themselves that the car was dismantled and assembled, apparently, not everything became airtight. But when Lanos only developed 90 km on the highway, there was a whistle from the driver's side.
The whistle intensified with the increase in speed. Moreover, the windshield on the move began to be covered with ice crust from the upper left corner. The reason turned out to be the most unexpected. The glass was either badly glued at once, or there was not enough glue at all for this corner. Simply pressing the upper left corner from the inside of the cabin would lift the glass and move away from the body by 5 cm! That is, all this time, Lanos was driving with unsticked glass.
When the shock of how many times it could fly out on a lying policeman, in the winter track of yards, with a sharp braking, etc., it was decided to go for unspent glue in the garage. Fortunately, the car service continued to work, only under a different name and with other workers.
It turns out and glue to ask for no one. Driving with such a gap in the face of the driver is a little scary, so the money saved from 4500 in the past repair had to be carried to a certified center.
