This time, sinabi sira ang relay, so pinalitan nga then gumana naman. After a day uli, ayaw na naman so ibinalik ko uli, then this time sinabi na sira yung pressure switch. Posible po kaya talaga na yun ang problema? hindi po ba ma check if sira talaga pressure switch kasi parang trial and error lang nangyayari. If palitan po, normally magkano po kaya yung part na yun?
Quote po kasi sa akin 1400 parts lang. Nissan exalta po 2002 ang car po.

marami pong salamat.

this has a multifaceted scenario:
1- the technician does not really know how to properly diagnose the symptom
2- the technician is not properly trained and equipped
3- the technician tries to please you by not replacing all the parts needed to repair the problem and hopes to make you save money
4- he thinks that if you replace more than one part (mulitple part failure), you might go to some other shop
5- he tries the "wait and see" approach if you come back with the same symptoms
6- he probably wants you to come back some other time
7- he wants to see you again, hek hek

diagnoses are supposed to be thorough regardless the real estimate for parts and labor hurts. if you go to a competent shop with competent technicians that is decently equipped, you always most of the time, thinks the charges will be high. most of the time if not all, you get what you pay for. this situation is more inconvenient and probably a more expensive proposition since the guesswork or "diagnosis" is wrong and is nickel and diming you
