[Music] Definitely it is, unless if you bring it to me and I find like a laundry list, and I'm the one to tell you, do not keep this car. Okay. Otherwise, it's you spend in a car today, up to $3,000 a year. It is worth it to keep it because if you do the math, it is basically four, five months payment on a new car. It's when I check your car on a regular basis and major things going wrong. Engine, transmission, uh things are very expensive or combination suspension repair. He needs the brakes. He needs the tires. And if that repair it's double what the car is worth, it's a time to get a new car. Okay? And I will help you to get a new car to make a good decision. Once a year or 7500 miles, do not do every 10,000 miles. It's bad for your engine. Above 100,000 miles, these engines, they have nothing of a problem with l d l d l d l d l d l d l d l d l d lubrications. In my shop, I only use original parts. Okay? The reason is because I gave it 24,000 miles or two years warranty parts and labor. It's not worth it. You keeping buying over and over and over the same part. Okay? Stick with the original because your car came from the factory with the original part and it has a reason for it. We can sit in here for an hour and just talk about this, but very simple. Okay? My labor rate is much cheaper in the dealer. My tax are qualified to do the same job or better job the dealer does and you have a warranty with me and um I will take care of you. I'm from Brazil and um I came here, uh, 31 years ago. um Very happy. I started work on cars, uh, a very young age. I was 8 years old. As a 13 years old, I started wrenching with my dad. And that's how I get my side to be a mechanic. I mean, I love what I do for a living. I really do. Wake up in the morning, I look in the mirror and I got to go to work because I love what I do. I had a two major professors. One is my grandfather and my dad both mechanics and my four uncles mechanics in the family and I could not be anything else. Got to be a mechanic.
