Worst car in history?

[alex456123]

Worst cars in history are GM and Dodge in my opinion. They are how I pay my bills, we may have 1 Ford in a month for something other than a oil change. Just this week and last week the lift has been kept busy with dodges, week before atleast 2 GM's needing headgaskets.

cause most fords are totaled before they get to your shop!

Now see, we very rarely have big jobs to do on GM's. Work on a **** load of Ford and Dodge. It's utterly rediculas how many Fords I work on.

Just what about it? Never have had a problem with any GM 4x4 system.

Lets see its a s10 blazer, so usually the known vacuum issue because of where they decided to locate the actuator for the axle.

^ now subarus the only thing they come in on it valve cover gaskets and timing belts! bulletproof i say! bulletproof!

Strangely I have only replaced a couple on them. There are a lot of blazers in my town. Have replaced several front diff actuators on the fullsize gm trucks. They cam with a new updated harness for them, too. But, those were electronically controlled.

Nope I see plenty roll by everyday!


Pat I think it actually comes down to area. If you say went to a different county or something. It could just be the word of mouth advertising to, usually if a customer is die hard one brand they hang with like people, so when they have an issue it comes your way.

Ive had a bunch of exhaust work to do on them, especially where they welded the hangers on and around any flange on the exhaust. They didnt put a good quality pipe on I dont think.

Yeah I agree with ya. But, there is a pretty even mix of the big 3 around Farmville. We have a GM dealer, and a Chevy/Ford/Dodge dealer in town. Then there is the Ford dealer 15mi south in the town I live in. Doesn't matter really, making money is making money.

aftermarket exhaust system for 500 bucks or so will fix that. but ive never seen that problem. omg the strait piped snowmobiles outside are driving me nuts!

What Jap car has quality exhaust? I've done nearly all Jap car's systems over.

If there is one Jap car I do little to no work on is Nissan. Some of the best cars on the road today are Hyundia, and Kia.

Probably right there, but Subaru's are one of the few jap cars we see. Occasionally some of the others but usually just for basic maintenance, the in and out stuff.

Just dont let a timing belt break, that gets pricy really quick when it bends every valve and damages the guides!!! Well over 2k by the time everything was siad and done.
