Showerthought: I heard a tech at the dealership say 'just replace the whole assembly' for a simple window regulator clip.

That mindset of swapping entire units instead of diagnosing the $5 broken part is what's killing real troubleshooting skills in our trade, so has anyone else seen this lazy approach become the norm lately?

Seen it too many times. Watched a guy order a whole new power seat motor when the gear was just stripped.

Right? @masonm85, saw a shop swap a whole window motor last week for a five cent plastic bushing.
