The F1 thing has nothing to do with what I said. And yes, many of them are prohibitively complex, including software. Which is why the right to fix stuff even exists. I run a shop at a high end dealership. We are well beyond spark, fuel, and air being the only.relevant contributors.
“Yo the first claim” refers to what prompted me to enter this thread.
You run a shop and you don’t understand that simple, common jobs are easy enough to handle on your own? That, or maybe you work for a manufacturer so bad they regularly see vehicles come in for insane problems?
I dunno, I drive Subarus and they’re super easy, even a pleasure, to work on and there really hasn’t been much getting in my way so far. I fully agree that nothing should be locked away and people deserve the right to do their own repairs but even with that not being the case I also don’t completely give up on small jobs because a repair I’ll never do is not currently possible.
No. Some jobs are easy. Some are not. Some are in the middle. But just because your Subaru is easy to you, doesn’t mean a hybrid performance vehicle is easy. You are over generalizing based on garbage anecdotal evidence. You should stop doing that in life.
Hey, I’m not trying to say your job is easy or act like you don’t deserve to be compensated well for it, and I haven’t said that people shouldn’t ever go to a shop, but there are many jobs that just aren’t that bad. Unless it’s a German vehicle, of course, those cars are actively hostile towards anyone and everyone and their engineers should be ashamed of themselves. I’ve done way too many VW rear brakes for family and friends and it always sucks ass, though I get it done all the same.
