Car buying? Media frenzy vs mechanic advice. Assess needs vs wants. Dodge veering off message? $4800 brake parts for Jeep!
Dealers are eager to see what you "qualify for". Your task is to satisfy your needs with minimal cost. Flashy new models and features pale quickly when problems arise ...an experienced mechanic can help you choose wisely. Upgraded brakes may come with upgraded profit margins for the dealer's parts department.
Please reply with any factual corrections (or harsh criticism for that matter!)
We love to hear from you, and will call you out for anything constructive you offer.
