Why does it seem I reading a script from a movie about an old person from New York or Detroit bitching about getting screwed the man?
anyone else see the irony on someone possibly from Detroit bitching about the shitification of the American auto industry?

Mega dealers will require you to drop off the vehicle before they're "allowed" to order the $35 part, turning a 4 hour repair into a 3 day affair.


I’ve had 4 Toyotas, with a total of 630,000 miles. I had one recall, I told the guy at the dealership, let me know when they make the recall. He did, took a few hours.


The second recall, I went in for an oil change, he told me about the recall, it was done at the same time.

Let the buyer be ware. I have purchased five vehicles in the past year for my Turo business. I do my basic maintenance. The trick is to do your research. It is not just the make and model, it is which engine and drive train in the vehicle. Those items are researchable.

Also, check hoses and belts, look under the parking spot for oil leaks. Dealers are in the profit business; the consumer needs to be in the research business.

2019 Ford Fusion
2020 VW Jetta GLI
2022 Mitsu MIrage
2021 VW ID.4
2009 Nissan Frontier

No issues with careful maintenance.

All my Honda services have been great. AC went out on our new Honda pilot and i picked it up yesterday. Yes the told me i need this and that. i told them to pound sand.

Jeep on the other hand is terrible. Yes i drive one and its possible this is my last one bc the service is just that bad.

$100 deductible covered my $4,500 heater core on Ram 1500. No questions asked.
