Why cars are becoming so hard to repair!!!

This episode we show how unavailable parts car make a 8 year old car worthless and what is involved in fitting basic parts on some cars😡😡
We have started this channel to help us change our company to give us a better work/life balance including lowering stress levels in both,this was created to keep a visual diary for us to look back on to see we are making headway, hopefully people like what they see and can take the odd idea for themselves,this is not a technical channel as that has been covered many time by people vastly better than I will ever be.

@@rmsdiagnostics I had a Morris Traveller during my college days. I had it for several years till my mum told me to sell it.☹️ She’d forced me to buy something more modern with a BS fiesta!😡 I hated the bloody thing!🤬 It was neglected and abused. I never washed it, left the windows opened in the rain and never checked the fluids. I later scrapped it with the same year due to major engine failure.

This is why I tell my customers not to ignore faults on used cars before they agree a price and to at least call the dealer to get a worst-case scenario price. I inspected a truck the other day with a faulty engine, no engines in Australia, or rebuild kits, or heads etc, all to be ordered from Japan, with at least 8 week wait+ then they would have to fit it. They of course didn't buy it, but the complexity of no parts and or poorly designed vehicles for repairs is terrible for vehicle owners today.

As for your wash after a service this is definitely something service centers or dealers do as it’s the only thing your actually able to judge them on, you can’t tell if they fitted you parts right or wrong or had the head tech or the apprentice change your oil,all you do is drive the car in and drive it out and hand them over hundreds of pounds and you can only judge them on the service advisors patter,the nice coffee and a car wash,Our cars come in with faults and leave without and customers are over the moon they found someone who can fix it.

Amazing how people love to harp on about how awful Dacias are, and yet most have never owned one. Yes they are cheap cars, and can have their issues, but they are no less reliable than any other brand, and when you consider they're half the price of some other cars which are far worse (looking at you VAG group), thats pretty impressive. I've driven Dacias for more than a decade, and for the price I can't fault them. The number of them being used as taxis both here and overseas with big miles on them tells you something. Repairs are generally straightforward, parts are cheap, and they dont rust nearly as badly as some other cars Ive owned, particularly if you look after them.

You could maybe try pronouncing Dacia correcly. Had no trouble so far with my 2019 Duster.

[@rmsdiagnostics]

not a chance and I’m not changing the way I say Hyundai like the new adverts are saying either😂😂

[@ianlaws3857]

A bit of vehicle snobbery going on .

[@rmsdiagnostics]

No chance we are the first to advise keep the older cars on the road but why way they make the dash so you can strip part of to get to anything is crazt

Things could be worse, he could own a Range Rover. Chicken hut on wheels.

[@Klown84]

Dacia cars are Renault in all but name. They are super reliable, are u sure u know about cars? It’s a bit embarrassing for you putting this out imo, I’m guessing you’d had a few the day before and thought it was a good idea or something? 😂

[@rmsdiagnostics]

I would think you would have been on the drink while typing Renault and reliable in the same sentence 😂😂 tbh I was not talking about the reliability as the fan failed due to user error just the way they build the car around the fan and we have to fit them👌 but thanks for watching👌👌

[@samuesoeilyoriy6581]

dacia are cheaper version of renault . what could go wrong🥲

[@rmsdiagnostics]

exactly,to be honest this one was not to bad but the early one was full dash out😂
