My Mechanic
Known this guy for 20 years. Great shop, super honest, nice guy.
I’m sitting up here as they do some suspension work on my truck, and I overheard him on a phone call with a potential customer. I overheard him telling this person the following: “I’m gonna be honest, those cars are piles of shit” I asked him what kind of car it was. Chrysler PT Cruiser |

Dodge/Chrysler just aren't long lasting vehicles. A co-worker also summed up the HellCat pretty well; "It's a go-fast car but not for long". |

Say what you want about Chrysler but so far I'll take the Jeep over almost every GM car I've bought. Been to the dealer once for an oil change, they dripped oil on the exhaust and bent over back wards apologizing and doing a quality check with a free oil change on the Hawk.
Let me think of Cadillac, oh yeah they did the oil change didn't put the oil cap back on. Six weeks later they admitted the mistake and wouldn't own up to anything, not even cleaning the engine of the oil and dirt which accumulated on it. Piss off GM, the two in the Driveway will be the last two we own, my Dad bought a Hyundai over another GM product. |

Everyone has a horror story about wrong things with an auto. But most of those issues it wasn't the auto's fault, it was the individual working on same's fault. I've had all big 3 maker's cars, some foreign, good and bad stories with all.
I can attest to most of my headaches were from fvckups with the mechanics/technicians. Untrained, unsupervised, ignorant, arrogant, some quite stupid.
