@david mullen It can as it increase rolling resistance on both entire drive train. From the transmission and clutch to the engine. Due to this over a very long time, it can cause undue wear on transmission gear teeth. But before that, you increase gas mileage and make the ride unsafe and a lot rougher. And if the transmission is already on it's last leg a low tyre pressure can push it over. But in normal use, the increased wear will take longer than the used lifetime of the car.

I watched from a different country, my car were always serviced by a dealership without much problem for 9 year/110k km. and still driving fantastic today, some upsell maybe, like a premium engine oil or something but not to this extents. Nothing critical are upselled, ever. I agree it depends on the rules, regulations on each country' industry. Everything seems to runs on money and profits regards of ethics over there. It's revolting just to watch. edit: maybe the reason is that the commission rate are lower over here, I don't know how much lower. But an engineer over here already has a good enough salary to not worry about trying to upsell.

@johnstrand2247 5 років тому
@Upstate SC Dashcam Here is a fact. In the 60s, most people did not even need medical insurance. Back then my sister fell and broke her arm and collar bone. Our family doctor set the bone, applied a cast and she was home a couple of hours later with a total bill of $58, climbing trees in three months and never had another problem with it. Fast forward to today and that broken arm is turned into a massive surgery with screws, pins and a lifetime of misery and thousands of dollars cost. From then on, the bones, muscles and tendons never quite articulate with each other. I have worked with thousands of people with similar experiences. Every single modern intervention leads to future interventions and future miseries, including metal poisoning.

You're a completely different person with different conditions and genetic makeup. You may just be more unfortunate than the person who didn't have the same complications. Not say that is the only factor but it IS a big factor you need to consider. I have a lung condition and I've never smoked anything in my life. Some people can live 120+ years while smoking every day and be fine. We are all leagues different from one another. So looking at one person who only needed a cast and comparing it to your situation doesn't make a lot of sense.

@kyler9323 2 роки тому
And customers have deep appreciation (at least I know I do) for honest, helpful, and skilled auto mechanics. There is quite the knowledge/skill imbalance and thus a fiduciary duty on the part of the mechanic/salesperson and when a customer knows that duty is being taken seriously, it is quite a relief. It's like having someone in your corner, on your team in life. Besides, people spend so much time in their vehicles nowadays it is peace of mind to know your car/truck is taken care of by someone who has YOUR interest at heart. With all that said, I too don't know why people rip others off.

This is why ppl should find a privately owned garage that is more focused on quality and honesty. I grew up in my grandfather's garage, for 40yrs he worked 6 days a week on customer's cars. He wasn't a wealthy man but he made a decent living. He stressed quality and honesty above all else. When he passed there were over 300 ppl at his funeral, most had to wait outside but all paid their respects.

Wow, John Doe is a tool. Maybe Bob Falfa's grandfather worked 6 days a week because he wasn't ripping his customers off at every turn. My uncle still owns a shop in Sikeston MO and only recently backed off working 6 days a week. He too made a comfortable living, but not so much he could live like royalty. Plus, he paid the guys who worked in his shop a very competitive wage with holidays off. I have seen my uncle let strangers, travelers on I-55, pay out their bills over time. Most of the time he was paid in full. Very rarely did he ever get 'no pays'. He recognized that working class people usually don't have $1000.00 sitting around for an auto repair.

Something to note about the factory recommended maintenance, this maintenance schedule is designed to keep your car running for the warranty period. Once that warranty is up they really don't care what happens to your car they'd rather you buy a new one. Some things like transmission fluids, differentials, and even the frequency of oil changes in spark plugs I do more often than the service manual requires just because I want my car to last longer than the hundred thousand mile warranty.
@ProCarsGaming556 2 роки тому
One thing about the recommended oil change in those books is that most newer oils (with the exception of fram) can last 10k+ miles or one year. Heck my 2000 Oldsmobile bravada it's recommended in the manual for a year.
@oliver_klozoff 2 роки тому
@@ProCarsGaming556 yeah, my 17 RAV4 is one of those 10k or one year vehicles. I change it at 5k or 6 months. That oil goes from dang near clear to the same color that is left inside engines that varnish from lack of oil changes. I use mobile 1 0w20. It's not the oil. Oil is cheap, an engine is not.

An hour after he dropped it off, he was able to pick it up again, and the mechanic informed him, that the brakes had not been changed, as they had a lot of life left in them. He didn't even have to pay for the time it took the mechanic to inspect the brakes. That is how you create trust.

that's why you wait 1-2 years after a new car comes out; most, if not all of the issues the early birds experience will have been wrinkled out by then. Buy second hand in cash so you don't have to pay off a loan (can buy brand new with cash but still more expensive than a year-old used car, but at least you know the vehicle's history with a brand new vehicle), and if there's no warranty then you can do all your own work with a bit of googling + a garage with tools. A bit of a challenge if you live in an apartment though, especially one that forbids working on one's car in there.

You should do your own research, but understand a lot of cars are designed to fail, not to last. Direct injection engines without Air Oil Separators, meaning huge carbon deposits on intake values that will eventually jam is another issue. People just run their cars until stuff breaks, but fail to understand, that one part breaking can often create a chin reaction of failures that are more expensive. Water pumps are $100, the fluid in my case is about $70, why would I not replace these at 60k and wait the 137k Subaru says, when the consensus in the car community is 60 to 90k. One less common failure that could total my car (6k-10k for the engine and 6-10k for the transmission). Just be proactive and say ahead of common failure points. Research your own car, and learn it's design issues.

Charles VanDergrift I personally just buy my brake stuff. I'm very far from being car savvy and the topic, while certainly important, is an utter bore to me (so it goes with the most important things in life, like taxes, lol). I just buy my brakes and have a company install them. My local Pepboys has treated me well personally (no matter what others might say) and while they will mention other work that's needed, it's genuine work that's needed, like once they were scared to give me the car back because my tires were pretty bald. Indeed, I knew this, so they weren't lying to me. I just went to a place that sold new and like new tires for cheap and they worked perfectly. I also often buy most parts I need for the car and just have them installed. Maybe I pick good places but I've never been upsold after any of those times. I let it also be known that I have no more money aside from the specific maintenence I requested. That too stops any potential upselling.
@charlesvandergrift3126 6 років тому
Yup, I try to do that too sometimes, but often a shop won't install customer-supplied parts. I like to keep spares of some stuff on hand because I have an old vehicle, but sometimes the shop doesn't want to install what I have. The key is to do what you did which is to find a shop you trust and stick with them. One shop almost got me by freaking me out with a "severe oil leak" that wasn't severe. It drips occasionally and never leaves a puddle.

When any business tells you "you're not allowed here, this is private property" (Parkway Honda) I would leave that business and NEVER return. They obviously have something to HIDE and/or are being dishonest.

And uhhhh, we also, on behalf of the dealership went ahead and checked out your steering wheel, it's a little warped right now so next time you come in we can pull that up and get it fixed right away.

I bought my wife all new tires Friday. Dude asked my wife if the car shakes when she’s breaking? She said no. He told her she needed her breaks changed. I told them it’s a Chevy that I can do those myself.
