The guys owning the domestics, do it themselves but much like many others are just dumb. Fuck it all up and therefor tuck their shit and go back to the dealer with problems/failures. Failures just like how they live their lives.
Then the few domestic owners, like myself, that know how to service a vechicle or two and get good use from their vechicles.
Hmmmm.... I may be onto something...  |
actually I did all the maintenance on all my toyota's after the first one I owned... (stupid easy to work on the 22r or 22re) worked on only one of my chevy's and my GMC. which intailed, 3 or 4 timing belts, 1 or 2 serpentine(on parents vehicles) belts, 3 hubs (wheeling got debris in them), 5 timing chains, 2 head gaskets, 4 cam's (performance upgrades) and a dozen or so tune ups.
all the vehicles I did my own oil and brake's... My last toyota ran perfect until I had the shop work on it... that's when the entire electrical system (alternator, cap, plugs, wires, battery, main fuse ect...) went out... funny timing
To be honest... if ford made a better truck... I'd buy the ranger... perfect size for me... but 1 don't want a new one... 2 use ones don't last from what I've seen.
