RE: @nolnocluap's What Upsets Me About Series - #1: Modern Car "Servicing"

in #cars7 years ago

Yikes, sounds like a much better option to do it yourself if you know how to do it D: I'm okay with my current centre as they aren't terribly expensive (unless there is actually a lot of expensive work to be done) and the work is actually good, but will have to drop them if I move too much further out (I already hate driving to them as is).

One of my partner's grumbles about "cars these days" is how they're getting really hard to self service not because of the stupid warranties but because of the increase in t he amount of moving parts. Do something wrong and you kill the electrics and everything dies a slow horrible painful noisy death. Suppose it's not too bad if you're an electrical as well as a mechanical engineer XD

Hi @ryivhnn. Having a local workshop that you trust can be a great advantage. If the work is of a good quality and the price is fair then that's wonderful but I guess like any relationship, that trust has to be earned and not assumed.

The maintainability of modern cars is an issue. Even with the appropriate training, it can still be the case that without the proprietary costly diagnostic equipment, you can still be left in the dark.

Happy motoring!
