Recently, when I take my car to an authorized dealer

for regular maintenance,

I feel like I am being ripped off by the dealer.

Well, it is a big problem in Japan now, but

I still feel some resistance when I am told by Americans.

I also feel uncomfortable taking them to Latino and Korean factories in the suburbs of LA.

I know there are several Japanese repair shops around Torrance, but

do you have any recommendations?

There are a lot of information in magazines, etc. and I am quite worried.

If there are any reliable repair shops near LA, please exchange information.

＞ Unlike FWD, there is no repair cost for CV Joint.

Aside from CV boot, does CV Joint break that often ？ Can I ignore the possibility of differential breaking in RWD ？ And should I avoid stick cars even though I feel they are already almost eliminated ？

Sorry for my ignorance Mr.

CV boot is easy to tear because it doesn't just turn, it bends from side to side.
If you replace the CV boot right away, you don't have to replace the CV joint.
There is a lot of grease in the CV boot.
If that grease is blown away by circular force, the CV joint will break.
In that case, the CV joint will be replaced.
Parts are not so expensive.
But the raver is expensive.
And aftermarket CV boot tears easily.
You should definitely buy genuine OEM for this one.
If you skimp on price here, you will have to repair it again.

Even with RWD, the differential will break if you drive recklessly.
If you drive normally, there is no problem.
CV joints are prone to breakage even when driven normally.

Whether you drive a manual or an automatic is a personal choice.
However, the repair cost is cheaper with a manual.
I am not a repairman, so please don't ask me this question.

But Mr. OEM is a changeoverist, so it's OK if the car breaks down in 3 years ？.

You write about OEM and so on as if you are a professional, but don't trust them, they will hurt you.
No warranty.
Original Equipment Manufacturer is a handle that anyone would trust. I am not a repairman, so don't ask me this question. So he writes.
