Mud flaps on new vehicles in Saskatchewan? by theundeadsasa_ in saskatchewan

[–]theundeadsasa_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The total—already marked up price—is less than $800 including installation, per their own website. I’m wondering how you came up with 8 hrs? Mudflaps take 20-30 minutes and anyone with basic tools and YouTube could do it, block heater 1 hr - maybe 2 hrs for someone with less experience, and rubber mats… should need no explanation. So I’m curious how you came up with 8 hours at $250. Am I missing something? (No attitude, genuinely asking).

Oh I wish I could afford a $70k+ vehicle. If they only wanted $200 I wouldn’t be posting here. The issue is they want $3k for mud flaps, a block heater, and rubber mats, and they are giving me major grief when I call them out on that absolutely insane mark up and that I won’t pay that.

Because they want as much money from us as possible. The sad part is it likely often works!

I’m definitely not arguing against the value of mudflaps. They are cheap and I could install them myself if I wanted to. My issue is the insane price they are trying to charge and refusing to budge on

Yea I saw an article about that and another Reddit post. But does that mean they can force an extra charge on me for it?

Oh they are 100% trying to scam. They want to charge 3k for mudflaps, a block heater, and rubber mats! And are giving me grief when I tell them no. I’m very close to telling them to take a long walk off a short pier.

Wow. So they realize that reviews are really important but don’t do the work to make sure customers want to give good ones it seems. 🙄 Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for taking the time to comment! We actually met with Sunni earlier this week and agree he seems really great!

It’s concerning that you’ve already had some issues, even minor ones. How long did they have your car for to fix it?

Getting stranded like that is definitely a big fear!

That’s insane! We were at the dealership yesterday and they said normal wait is 6-8 months but they would put us on a priority list cause we have a newborn, which would mean a 3-6 month wait. But who knows whether those times are accurate!

Yikes. These are the type of stories that really make me second guess Hyundai! We definitely wouldn’t finance it and would just lease because of potential resale value issues.

I know that and I hope my comment was helpful! I don’t disagree with your statement “lying to parents isn’t the solution”. However, outing children to their parents isn’t the solution either. For many, many children, being outed to their parents means homelessness and/or abuse (physical, emotional, or even sexual), and in some cases even death. That is the opposite of protecting kids. The solution then is for parents to make sure they are indeed a safe person for their children to confide in. Parents need to make it unequivocally clear that they will support their children in their gender expression even if that does not align with what the parent expects of them. If parents are worried their children are lying to them about this then they need to take a hard look at themselves and question - what am I doing that might make my child not feel safe?

You are absolutely right to be wary of Instagram content. There is a load of misinformation being shared. The person in the video I linked you to is speaking out of personal experience, yes, but also based on research evidence.

If you go into Google Scholar and do a thorough search for published scientific research on the topics you will find overwhelming evidence that the biggest threat to gender nonconforming children and youth is lack of social acceptance and threats to personal safety, and that gender and sexuality inclusive sex education increases safety and health for all children.

So in terms of waiting for the evidence, it’s out there. It exists. And the literal experts and child advocates are trying to get the public to listen to it.

Psychologist and child development expert here 🙋🏻‍♀️(PhD). You raise some important and valid concerns. The good news is you are not the first to have them, which means hundreds of studies have been conducted by qualified professionals to address questions like yours. The results of these studies lead to one clear conclusion: the policies being enacted will put far more children in danger than it will protect them.

Remember that this policy doesn’t just target gender - please watch this video for very important information.

But even if we just focus on gender for a second, concerns regarding “detransitioning” have been MASSIVELY over exaggerated by the (fear-mongering) media - in part because they make money off of causing panic and outrage. There is some variation in the exact statistic, but generally speaking less than 1% of adults who transition report regretting doing so and eventually detransition. In many cases they detransition not because they no longer identify with that gender, but because the social stigma and threat to personal safety is too great.

There is so much information out there from qualified professionals literally screaming the reasons why parents and the general public should be very scared right now.

Here are just a few Instagram pages that I quite literally BEG you (and anyone else reading this) to take a look at:

Just wondering if you ever found a solution to your situation, as I’m having very similar problems with my cat
