I am considering buying a used car for grandchild. I found a ’95 vw cabriolet for $ 995 and a 2002 vw passat for 1200. Both have high miles (of course) But I would like some knowledge about which car would be the easiest and cheapest to repair(such as replace trans or motor) Both cars are in good condition as to exterior body except the 95 will need to be repainted

My sister’s car has a lot of problems, and it seems like it would take a while just to identify them. Do you have to pay for their time to figure out the problem or is it free?

Best answer:

Answer by JD
Anything they can figure out with the car in-tact should be free, however anything that will require disassembling for troubleshooting will likely cost you something.

Don’t be fooled by free estimates, they can and will take your car apart for free, but you’ll have to pay them to put it back together if you decide you want a second opinion

The best auto glass service is http://www.SafeLite.com and their mobile trucks come right to your house. Also call your auto insurance which will cover the cost under your “comprehensive” coverage minus a $ 50 deductible. SafeLite does all the paper work for you and the insurance company pays them directly.
