[QUOTE="Tanis143, post: 3170696, member: 43724"] If he's your friend, he will give you the honest answer: So shade tree mechanics cease to exist. When cars were simple people didn't use dealships much. Once they started putting in all the sensors, ECM's and making the engine bay a nightmare to work on, people started going to mechanics and dealerships more often. My first three cars never saw a paid mechanic. I used my Haynes manuals to diagnose and fix any problem they had. My first new vehicle was dealership maintained as we my 2010 Soul and my 2017 Soul. Now days, just too much crap to work with. If I had a pre-85 car I would go back to doing all my own wrenching. [/QUOTE]
