Replying to: 0patience (Oct 22, 2007 3:36 pm) I don't do my own plumbing, or auto repair(even though I could do that) You are also not paying attention to what I am saying. If you own an older car, taking it to a competent independent mechanic isn't a bad idea. For newer cars, esp lux cars given their complexity it is BEST to have the dealer service and repair them. Now, almost anyone can change oil, but most people cannot deal with the complex electronics of modern cars. I have simply seen too many people who thought they could fix their own cars screw them up. We had a guy who had an indy stereo company replace the sound system in his S60R, which isn't easy to do. Fried his entire wiring harness, which is easy to do. Bottom line, if you have a 10 yr old Honda, anyone can fix it. But, if you spend big boy money on a big boy car,spend a little extra and have the people who are trained to deal with it, fix it. |

Howdy! I am a student who needs help for my marketing class. We are doing a project and I need some feedback if anyone is willing! By aftermarket I mean anything really that is added after the car is purchased and more typically like car features and not parts, aka adding aftermarket remote access features, not a new starter because the original broke. Do you add aftermarket parts to your car? Would you add aftermarket parts if there was a feature that you wanted but didn't have? Why do you or others add aftermarket parts to their cars? Would you add aftermarket remote access to your car? Would you add aftermarket push button ignition? if you are willing are you male or female and maybe general age if you want. Thanks so much for any responses or help, it is much needed and very much appreciated!!!
