The point was, as things wear out...... the owners are presented with a choice.
Repair it, or replace it.
Whether it’s a furnace, a refrigerator, washing machine, computer, a vehicle ...... or parts for your car.

There is a whole industry that exists because there are enough people who elect to replace their cylinder heads with new and improved pieces instead of refurbishing their old ones.
