Stick with the older cars. They don't spy on you.

my case is completely different but as a ford employee i get a discount and my father is one of the parts directors so he gets a big-time discount (im 21 so he co-signed therefore i can use both) so my repairs r next to nothing. but outside of this case yes do everything u can on ur own or w the assistance of somebody who knows wut they’re doing/an independent shop, preferably in or near the hood same work but a lot cheaper. a lotta ppl near me in jersey go to amboy or elizabeth for it.

EPB enters the chat. If you don’t know what you’re doing you’ll be buying a new electric caliper

Brake pads have changed some of the new cars have electric calipers and you have to have a certain tool to do it

Honest question: who gets their car repaired at a dealership and pays out if pocket for it, and why?

On newer chevy silverados, not selecting one setting before doing a break job can lock you out of your vehicle

A local shop tried overselling having my refrigerant drained and told me that I needed the shop to do everything in my AC for $1200+$400 installation. I bought ALL new AC parts for $600, called a smaller local shop to drain my freon for $100 and reinstalled all the parts, then recharged my freon.

Planned obsolescence needs to be illegal. Over complicating your engineering to make it harder for people to repair it themselves, should be illegal.

Don’t rear brake calipers now often require a retraction procedure that needs a scan tool? Brakes are already more complicated.

the only major difference is electronic calipers, needing additional equipment to back the pistons off.

Everybody bitching about “dumb ass engineers” like my brother in Christ it’s the finance department not the engineering department giving you this problem.

Your usually spot on with this stuff but if you dont use a scan tool to do brakes on newer GM’S your going to ruin the abs module. Also if memory serves me correct 26 Hyundai needs a scan tool too.

I have a newer Nissan and I can't change my brakes without taking it to a service shop. I need a computer to release the calipers. I was very pissed when I found this out

My dad's new Ram won't let the break pistons retract all the way without a "maintenance mode" option in the computer. it's not far off to require a dealer computer to do that
