    I mean, I’m a computer guy and some of the computers I use daily I wouldn’t tell other people to use, I just use them because I know what’s broken and what incantations to get it working well enough and its dirt cheap to keep using a half broken and dying machine. I assume many mechanics cars are similar

      Well, like consumer electronics, vehicles are not made to be serviced or repaired, and in the car world it’s the exact same

      Example, replacing the blower motor on a 2006 Sierra is a 1 hour job vs 15 hours on a 2015 and it’s all intentionally difficult like this to charge insane rates for labour
