A: If you can prove that the parts failed on their own, and caused the chain reaction, then I believe you should threaten to take Aamco to Small Claims Court if they don't repair everything that broke for free. The may deny responsibility for the chain reaction, but a good threat of small claims court often gets the matter resolved.
