I went car hunting today

32. Not to be discouraging but I'd avoid Kia's and Hyundais

Kia’s recently had a a recall because they were catching fire.
We have a regular car garage we go to. Big on local food programs. The owner grew up really poor.

I was dropping off my daughter’s car for inspection. Someone else was dropping his car off and the front desk guy was explaining that Kia’s need oil changes more frequently because they burn a lot of oil. After the guy left I asked the front desk guy and he said “Kia and Hyundai can’t keep on engine going. They just can’t make a good engine”

Something to think about. Oh and this chain of garages pays their front desk people straight salary. They get nothing encouraging up-selling. In fact I was twice asked why I thought I needed wheel alignment. They do a complete diagnostic and text it even on just an oil change or state inspections.
