Fear of being cheated

Have you ever been in a situation where you're being asked to shell out lots of money to fix somethiing thats broke, and
a) you're not sure if that will solve the problem
b) you're not sure if thats the right price to pay
c) you're not sure if the there is another root cause toTHIS problem.
I've been feeling this for the past couple of months acutely. My car needs fixing - it just stops in the middle of a drive.I've tried three different service centers. Each points to a different problem - each is logical. Each gives me proof of the problem. I agree. I spend on getting it fixed. A few hundred kilometers later- the car stops again.
I think my car doesnt like me anymore.
Today was another service center day. The only difference was - I had to go there TWICE - in a single day. I'm much poorer at the end of the day and as I write this in the car on the way back, my driver handles the car with fear - is it going to stop again?
Hopefully, like a good wife, my car is happy with all the shopping i have done for it...
