General repairs are getting so expensive that brands that require far more than average work. Will probably see their market share decline. Actually to a certain extent this has already occurred with many brands.

I have noticed in the last few years more than a few people saying we will never buy another product of an X brand. Actually I almost feel sorry for the owners of certain brands as I follow along the road behind their new vehicles.

For what they paid for their vehicles they could have gotten a far more reliable car. Where at least the manufacturer is making some effort to also support his product overall. The average car buyer perhaps still is influenced too much by their emotions and advertising.
