My US friends share with me that car repair costs have followed inflation and not general population wage growth (unfortunately, mechanics other than independent mechanics likely aren't seeing a commensurate increase in invoice bottom lines). Unless you wrench it yourself, on some vehicle like an old 80-90's diesel pickup, 4 figures invoices are common now.

- nozzlegear 2y agoHow often do you need to repair your vehicle? I bought a new car at the end of 2022 and haven't had to bring it into the shop at all except to get some new tires, and I've put 30k miles on it so far.
