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.

Dear OEM
Not related to repairs, but do you have any recommendations for buying a new or used car ？
My current car is Year 2005, AUDI A4 QUATTRO 3.2 46,700MILES Computer related light and after fixing it, I get another different code. I'm having a hard time.

I only buy new cars, so I don't know what to recommend for a used car. For me, a 6 cylinder car would be just fine.
It has power and the gas mileage is not that bad. but new cars these days have fewer 6 cylinders.
However, if fuel economy is your only concern, a four-cylinder car is a good choice. If you are looking for a used car, the engine and mileage are important, but a car with a body that has not been in an accident is better.
If the car has been in an accident, you don't know what kind of repairs were done, and if the frame is bent, it's likely to be fatal.
A few years ago I was in a car accident and my car was wrecked.
Luckily the insurance company scrapped the car and I was happy to reverse it.
I am relieved that I can buy a new car with that money instead of having to repair and drive the car that was involved in the accident.

Also, with a 2005 Audi, it's OBD2, so the trouble code should somehow tell you what area is the problem. I haven't had my car repaired in the last 20 years.

I too would like a 6 cylinder car, but I have a headache because there are no cars that suit me.
By the way, American car OR JAPANESE CAR?
Thanks for the information.

It is your choice.
Different people have different tastes.
Some people like coupes, some like SUVs.
Unfortunately, it's not my car, so I can't say.
Sorry.

The insurance company doesn't decide whether to scrap the car
it's up to the repairman's estimate （ lol ） you're clueless.
