Read a piece a while back that argued archaeologists are basically scared of their own shadow now, worried a tourist will drop a pot shard and sue them. Reminds me of that old saying about how you can't just trust people with nice things anymore.

$240 is actually a pretty fair price for a proper repair if they're using the vinyl repair kits with heat and texture stamps. The bigger issue nobody's mentioned is that once that spot gets worse from sun damage or a passenger's knee pushing on it, that little mistake turns into a crack that runs across the whole dash. Honestly, a 2012 Honda still has plenty of life left and a cracked dash drops resale value way more than $200.

65% of the time you're probably right about that @kai_burns73, but some people just fidget when they're anxious or cold, not necessarily hiding something.
