Do you want to visit these interstate warehouses to get your vehicle serviced as well?

  Dealerships are not an efficient way to run repair shops either. Would be better if manufacturers just used repair certification for independent shops.

    Oh they are very efficient. Efficient at robbing people blind. I was going some work on a new gf car and asked when she last changed her spark plugs and she told me a couple years back at a hefty cost from the Honda dealership. I think it was close to $200. I can change them for the cost of the plugs so like $40. It is the easiest engine as well all plugs top and centre nothing buried way down the back of the engine like my parents s10 I want to change plugs on. It’s like a 15 minute job and requires no special tools.

  No, I want a car that can be serviced myself, in my own garage. For those rare jobs that are bigger than I can handle myself, I want to be able to choose from any trusted local mechanic, without them having to buy a specific manufacturer's proprietary tools. Open standards, from parts to tools. I do not expect to get any of that with a new car, or even one made in the last couple of decades. That is why I will continue to maintain vehicles that were made before the turn of the century.
