Re:Ford CEO Says There Aren't Enough Mechanics. Then a Mecha... by drweevil on Wednesday October 08, 2025 @05:20PM (#45520772)
Very highly paid executive complains because the peasants aren't willing to work for nearly nothing. Where have I heard that before. But Ivanovko brings up a great point: manufacturers are making their products difficult to repair, for a variety of reasons. In this case saving manufacturing costs increases profits, but at the cost to the owner of greater repair costs. Even for simple repairs. (And collision repair costs, ugh!) And that in turn drives up insurance costs. I'm amazed that people can afford today's vehicles.
