Changing brake pads. You do it for $50, they do it for $500
Until they make it so hard to do it yourself, and you have to pay them. …even more.
Eg. removing the fucking bumper to put in a new headlight.
You already need a scan tool for many models in order to retract the electric handbrake.
With the number of misaligned/undirected led lights I get blinded by, I’d be okay if you needed a phd to change them.
I feel like people are just driving around with their full beams lately not knowing that's an issue. It feels like every 5th car is blinding me now. I've had to pull over at times because I have stars in my eyes.
Last time I visited LA it seemed like high beams were the default
Most of the cost is labor (and the garage's cut).
