Looks like we might be winning.

While this settlement is nice, it will not resolve the conflict. Many people think it will take changes to state and federal laws to end the right-to-repair ...

GM is recalling 1 million engines. Ford is doing same. Anyone who is my customer has been getting 4 decades of knowledge for their benefit. GM's is now bumping the weights of the oil to prevent damage & failure. I have been doing this since day one. I have been using high quality oils and premium oil filters since day one. My shop is not the lowest priced shop in the county for a reason. I will NOT install cheap or sub standard parts, fluids etc in your engine or on your vehicle. But hey you saved a few bucks & your engine now sounds like a cement mixer at 50k miles. You win at life huh ? I will be doing a yt video on the big situation "Engines & Oil" episode soon. In the mean time, this clip is spot on. Have never used any of these products listed because I never liked the sounds or smells after using them during experimentation.

Most folks have no idea what is coming on the automotive / vehicle front. I have been watching this dumpster fire rage out of control for over 4 decades. It is a shame to hear this interview but I can agree with it 100%. So what options do you have as an owner ? #1 is to take care of what you got. 2. New is made to break. They do not care about service. They only care about sales. 3 The aftermarket may save the industry with fixes, updates and better engineering but this will require a huge shift in owners perceptions about independent shops. & What owners need to spend to keep their rides going.

In this Interview we speak with a former GM Powertrain Engineer. He describes how GM internally cuts costs on parts and has little interest in making quality...

I had a tire that kept losing pressure. The Toyota Dealership and Hardisons couldn't find an issue with it. I took it to Jonathan's and he found the problem with in seconds. He was very professional and resonable priced.

Usually not worth the paper they are written on it IS nice to see the FTC go after the crooks for once. I have too much experience with these companies. They are horrible.

Consumers complained that they paid each month for CarShield car-repair contracts, but ran into roadblocks getting transmissions, engines fixed.
