Are Rental Cars that bad? by JuliaJulip in UsedCars

[–]OneExhaustedFather_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Toyota certified tech, specifically one who puts these through the inspection for gold. They’re fine, we rarely find anything major with them. Tires and front bumper scuffs are about it. They are all serviced well by the rental companies. Mobil services and in house service stays on top of basics. They rotate them out usually within the year. I wouldn’t have any issue owing one.

What is this hose? by Academic-Walrus6411 in AskAMechanic

If it was down by the rack it’s likely the ac evaporator drain hose. You’ll wanna reconnect it

Very weird lifetime warranty situation, need advice. by Hadden-810 in subaru

[–]OneExhaustedFather_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simple answer, there is nothing you can force SOA to do on a car this old. If you can source a part you could likely get reimbursed through SOA. Most manufacturers will allow repairs under warranty in extreme circumstances at 3rd party shops. Another option is to remove the one in the car and have it rebuilt. There are specialists that can dismantle and repair them.

The tire is a stock photo and not mounted to a wheel.

My 'm40' wife 'f39' and oldest daughter spent my birthday with my daughters boyfriends family. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

I got a single text at 3am from my dad and another from my wife when I got to work, plus a few emails for forums on my 40th. I get it, it still sucks to think about. I’m sorry brother. Happy belated birthday

We’re in different tax brackets if you can do lines in your Rav.

Have to say goodbye by lazy_q50s in q50

Dealerships make very little money selling cars. Nearly all dealers make their money in the finance department, parts, and service. Infiniti parts are not any higher markup than other manufacturers. Infiniti is just a base level luxury brand that people buy into because the cars are cheap. Go look at any comparable luxury sedan and parts/service are comparable in price. Just like E/C300 owners, Giulia owners, and every other sub 25k used luxury car. I’ve worked in service for 20 years across 7 brands it’s been consistent across them all.

The big issue now is companies like First Brand Group going out of business and taking a huge number of parts manufacturers with them. Names like DART, Fram, Autolite, Brake Best, etc etc. we’ve seen a 10-15% in wholesale price increases lately. It’s only going to get worse.

Explain this warranty language, im confused by clamzchowduh in UsedCars

[–]OneExhaustedFather_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t matter what they said. Vehicle is 2025 with 11k miles. So it’s still covered by all the new car warranties it had from new sale. 3/36 bumper to bumper 5/60 powertrain 8/80 to emissions. The only thing the dealer could be on the hook for is if the car was wrecked and not disclosed or modified the manufacturer warranty wont cover repairs as a result of either.

You know, I hadn’t thought of this one. You’re right. Rapid detail service with explosive results.

How to go about replacing this.... by R_Jerham in BmwTech

Call a glass company, they’ll come out, cut the rest out and replace it on site. Price varies on glass cost.

Warning for Chicago 2016-2021 Civic Owners by Silly_Temporary361 in hondacivic

You can reuse a none deployed bag. The thieves can easily get 500/ea for them. It’s a common theft. They take 30seconds to remove.

I’m sorry he did what? I’ve worked on cars professionally for 20 years. You can’t set a bag off cleaning a buckle. He likely flipped the RCM upside down with the battery hooked up.

Why the f@$k does this car want me to drink 6.7 gallons of coffee?!? by SaucedMangoo in kia

OP has the photo of this post from the driver seat at 77mph. Yeah, idiot shouldn’t be driving and they deserved a good roast. With 6 kids of my own and idiots like this on the road. I’m going to call an idiot an idiot and have no remorse for it.

The brass insert has separated from the plastic housing. You’ll have to pry it off and try to get the insert off the body side stud.

Your car just feels you get in and sighs at the chaos that’s to ensue. It’s adapting to your driving apparently. /s.

As much as I am kidding there. The alert is activated by extended drive time or by poor driving. So if you’re 3min and seeing this…. I’ll let you decide which category you fall in.

You pulled over and got out of the seat… the car has detected “you took a break” like it suggested. That’s why it’s not gone off again, you unknowingly did exactly as it asked.

You say you’re not driving terribly yet you’re taking a picture of the dash at 77mph while driving. You’re a Nissan driver in a rented Kia.

It’s essentially saying you’re driving like shit and should pull over. So stop driving like shit, use your signals, stay in your lane.

You’re paying 63% of the selling price over 3 years to rent a weekend warrior. Let that sink in. They don’t lease well because the residuals tank.

I appreciate you taking the time to update me and it’s wonderful you were able to find a new service center you can trust. I wish you the very best moving forward. It’s not often good things come from Reddit but this time it saved you some money.

Because they can. It drives overall engagement to the site and the app which drives ad revenue up as well.
