Replacing tires on a car is not an emergency unless you happened to blow a tire, and even then that's usually covered under warranty unless you screwed something up and like drove your car over a curb causing the damage.
- sliverstorm 11y agoErr... running over a nail, for example, is not generally covered by warranty.
- Sleaker 11y agoreally? Every tire I've purchased has included free flat fixes. I've had nails and screws pulled. All covered no charge.
- superuser2 11y agoMany people, particularly those interested in personal finance, wouldn't dream of buying a car new enough to be under warranty.
- Sleaker 11y agoTire warranty != Car warranty. Tires include their own warranties up to a certain number of miles, they also (in my experience) cover many types of damage.
- crpatino 11y agoAgreed. Same can be said about the water heather and the dishwasher. If they both failed so close one another it was either an Act-of-God (and outlier that no one ought to experience more than once, statistically speaking) or more likely the result of malign neglect. If the GP had just bought the house, he/she ought to have made a better job at surveying the infrastructure and considering repair cost in the total price. If that's the case, it reflects poorly on them to have been taken by surprise by those events.
