After she inexplicably veered off road and hit a large stone a few months later, chipping the carbon ceramic brake disc, and bending the subframe, she called the dealership about getting it repaired and was directed to BA, the only licensed repair facility for Aston Martins.
An initial repair estimate of $24,000, was bullshit, and closer inspection hit $100,000 (a pair of cc brake rotors @ $30,000, and a completely new subframe @ $25,000, plus labour for both)
Not happy with the estimate, Liu took the car to a Richmond repair shop, where she obtained a much cheaper quote for the subframe, which they couldn't order anyway, as it only be bought by an Aston Martin-approved shop, you guessed it, the one she was told to go to in the 1st place, and she had no choice but to take her car back into BA, where it has been since.
Here is where her irrational, illogical, little spoiled princess with no grip on reality personality comes out.... "I don’t even want the car back , I want a refund (from the dealer), I don’t think it’s safe to drive, I don’t trust the car, I don’t trust the dealer and I don’t trust the autoshop’s invoices.”
Liu, who is in her 30s, told the Richmond News via email from China.
To make it worse Liu is being dinged $200 a day for storage, summed up at $18,000 so far.
There are about 3,000 cars worth more than $150,000 insured in B.C. this year, a 30 per cent increase from three years ago. Many of them can be seen being driven around in Richmond/Vancouver.
