Anything wearable is not cover under warranty unless you just did a work done at a Dealership.

Extended warranty doesn't cover abuse like that.

No, since you are already "NOT" cover under warranty why would they even care if you do modify your car or not. Because neither way you "still" paying them load of CASH.

I suggest going to a Mechanic shop where they won't rip you off like dealers do. If you want one I have a shop that I always go in FREMONT.

It's called Fremont United Auto
just tell them you are Jack's friend they will give you some sort of discount. And I know 100% for sure they will not rip you off because My parents been friends with them for 10 years.

Just don't tell them how you burnt them. Make it look like it's a defect.

Yeh, just see how far you can go at the dealership. Say it started acting funny and its a cummuter car and it got worst in traffic or something i dunno i would try that route. Or pay like half if they will work somthing out OR just go to any suggested place to get it fix, G.L.
