Since we are speaking about expensive repairs here, make sure you have at least five quotes that you can gather and then work your options. There is always a cheaper way than what you already found, put some extra effort!
- contact multiple repair shops
- get as much offers as possible
- get as many offers as possible
- negotiate
Once you find your best option you can always try to barge for cheaper cost, you never know, it might work.
To reduce downtime cost check the option for cheap truck rental (if your truck is not driving for a week you will lose up to $5k)
How can I deal with this issue? Regular maintenance and preventive daily checkups can help to prevent major repair cost and downtime, not to forget big source of stress when accidents and breakdowns appear.
