body shops and insurance companies in my town are being forced to total out repairable vehicles because they have no available parts. The work hours in repairing the damaged parts puts the vehicle into total loss territory. I hope these GM employees needing more than 36 bucks an hour plus benefits is worth losing their entire career over. I've heard 10 people say they'll never buy another gm product again after this, I don't blame them.

My parents bought a 2002 Chrystler Intrepid and it rusted out before the engine or tranny went. My seat fell through the floor while driving, and one day it pooped the gas tank. The passenger door wouldnt stay closed, the rear windows stopped working, the alternator died, the A/C didn't work, the trunk would slam shut because the struts broke. Oh and the R in Intrepid fell off so everyone called it the 'Intepid'.

4: 17 Why is Scotty Kilmer giving people in Tennessee and Puerto Rico ideas on how to fix their cars on the cheap? LMAO at that picture. One time I did see a young girl in Tennessee driving a four door car with no doors, no hood, no headlights, etc. she could only drive in the day time. I guess it is a Tennessee and Puerto Rico thing when people discover, You know what I really do not need that part that broke off.

What's the tariff situation with all these cars built all over the world. GM, a US company, goes to China to save labor costs. Could they get slapped with tariffs if they sell those cars in the US? What the heck is going on with the world? Now I hear, probably from you, that the Japanese cars built in the US suck. Do I need to move to China so I can live in Japan? Or can I stay here and buy a sucky car?

That Mary is cold. She has closed plants world wide. No thought for the effect on workers. And THAT China has zero human rights. Yet Unions are bad as well They make it attactrive for the likes of GM to build cars in places like China where there are NO disruptive unions. Or they just replace them with robots. That might sound like science fiction Not anymore, reality now.

Most vehicle manufacturers only make parts for 10 years, then sell off what they have and that's it. It's aftermarket or nothing. And there are a lot parts the aftermarket doesn't make. I've had much better luck finding repro parts for 50-60 year old cars than for 20 year old cars. Vehicle manufacturers DO NOT support what they sell.

I work in a body shop and we're dealing with the GM strike. We have a few rental cars that are GM vehicles sitting at the shop waiting for OEM parts as that's what the rental agency paid for. A couple of parts some are waiting on are dealer only too. So they just sit here and wait. We've had one here almost a month already.

My buddy's dad has an 06 buick lacrosse he bought new and he has only replaced a starter its got over 200, 000 miles. Those are great cars and i think scotty just garnishes an opinion based on 1 or 2 cars that he has worked on. I respect him and his knowledge but a lot of the cars he dogs are actually decent cars.

Hey Scotty I bought a 2016 Ford Escape at the dealership the other day and I have an opportunity to get my tires changed to winter tires from all season and I live in Edmonton Alberta where there's lots of snow. Should I keep the all-season or put on the winter tires for all wheel drive? Thank you
