| Whenever my dad brings it to his work to do stuff to it it gets looked at, seems to me your friend didn't even bother to take it to a mechanic to get it checked out before she bought it, if she had she wouldn't have had that accident, glad she's ok though.

Minions that trust the idiots at the quick lube places to take care of their vehicles make me laugh. When it comes to working on your vehicle you either have to take to a real shop, not a quick lube joint, or just do it yourself. | ||

I agree it is probably not very many people, but if they aren't willing to do it themselves, or take it to a dependable mechanic for service work/inspections it is their own fault. I worked as a mechanic for about 3 years. Thought it was what I wanted to do for a living. Studied, passed a few ASE tests, then just got flat out burnt out on it. Day after day it was just fixing some other ungrateful jackass's rusted out shitbox. I'll tell you what though, after working for a good shop with a great reputation and having people bring their vehicles to us after Wal-Mart or some other shop full of high school drop outs screwed their vehicle up, I will NEVER trust my vehicle to a quick lube place of any type. If I don't have the want or time to fix what is wrong with my rig, I take it to a friend that I know I can trust. I don't even like getting tires put on my rigs after knowing what kind of idiots most places hire to bust tires. | |

| Yup, we've had some pretty rusty unibody vehicles that lived a lot longer in Illinois ans Iowa than some of these body on frame imports that are rusting apart in states with milder climates.

It isnt your dads fault though, its the engineers/companies problems for not spec'ing the coating processes/steel quality or thickness better. | |
