Our old Citroen C5 snapped it's cambelt (interference engine) and I had it recovered to the garage.
They looked at the engine and gave ms an estimate of how much to fix it and how much they had spent in labour taking it apart so far.
After a bit of haggling I just took any personal possessions out of the car and walked away.
The garage eventually fixed it (free labour sort of) and it was used to make money as a taxi.
