Actually, your post here clearly underlines what it is to have no experience, and therefore no real knowledge concerning what it is you're pretending to know and understand something about.
Actually, I do have experience; however, it is obvious that you would rather fill lines in with your self-aggrandizing Hamburger Helper. I have never encountered an individual with the ability to fill in as many lines with meaningless crap. You must be paid by the word.
The biggest idiots in the car manufacturing process? One title says in all, ENGINEER. Who the beep do you think makes all the mistakes to begin with?
What is wrong with you? Have you been back in the parts room smoking jazz cabbage? I have already pointed that out.
However, I myself LOVE engineers because without them and their pompous idiocy, I'd go out of business.
Why don’t you place the blame where it mostly lies, in your customers who fail to maintain, or, end up abusing their vehicles?
The rest of your post is just a bunch of "I don't what the bleep it is I'm talking about, but I'll sure as heck keep right on pretending that I do" yakety yak.
Again, more Hamburger Helper.
For instance, the standards to which you refer are a JOKE. They're all minimum standards. Countless manufactures make parts overseas that are absolute garbage due to these same standards.
I would no more take your word that uniform standards are a joke than I would believe the US would knowingly allow for the importation of car parts created by "child" slave labor.
Then there is the FACT that many (most) foreign low quality aftermarket parts manufactures use inferior quality raw materials in their manufacturing process. They have children assembling their parts, and those that are rebuilt have a near 15% failure rate right out of the box.
Here you are again misleading. The parts you are describing are the bottom of the barrel, however, still carrying some type of warranty. Shady shops, used car dealers and weekend warriors on a budget utilize them.
They have children assembling their parts
Children..., you don’t say. Have you seen them running around naked on the streets grasping spark plug wires & water pumps? As usual, you supply grandiose exaggeration.
You have made the claim of child slave labor being implemented in parts arriving in the US..., again, prove it.
They have children assembling their parts, and those that are rebuilt have a near 15% failure rate right out of the box.
No one offs; list the part companies with an historical 15% failure rate “out of the box”. You made the claim, you prove it.
It's pathetic, and is so dominant in the business I'm in, that I literally see it every single day. They don't even remotely begin to exercise the same levels of quality control that the OEM parts manufactures do.
Why must you continue in providing unnecessary information already given to you? ADHD?
Yes, there are times when engineers build in the concept of controlled obsolescence
And here is where you have truly screwed the pooch, as in truly showing your lack of knowledge.
Not just the US, but every car manufacture on this planet tests their parts in compiling a failure rate as it is required by law to have replacement parts available for a determined number of years.
their apathy alone is by far the biggest causal agent that bears out responsibility for a total lack of longevity, reliability, not to mention serviceability. Most are expressionless boneheads, and that's putting it nicely.
In not knowing the former, the latter is meaningless.
And here's the thing, because of the sheer greed that the large American automobile manufactures like GM & Chrysler became consumed by prior to arriving at chapter 11's doorstep back in 2008-2009, nearly all the parts they did use at that point were based on one criteria, and one criteria only: Lowest Bidder, therefore the lowest quality possible.
Again, point me toward your evidence. I want to read (along with the other evidence) in which you espouse.
S.R.L., let me make one point above all others abundantly clear to you. I am an absolutely proved successful professional expert at what I do. You Sir couldn't begin to teach me ANYTHING about the business I have been in for better than 30 years now.
More inflated, self-aggrandizing opinion. Its gets old after a while, but some have unbearably grown accustomed to it.
However, many people whom are themselves experts, can and do teach me new things every year. This specific type of repair business has seen more technologically centered change in the last 20 years than most businesses will see in the course of a complete century.
Congratulation, for once there is common ground. I shall cherish this newfound common ground for one brief moment, and now that one moment is forever gone.
That my friend is the secret to success in this vicious business. Those who adapt to change rather than run from it, honestly and ethically improvise according to the needs of one's customers, will overcome the immense diversity of automobile design changes. They will in fact survive as we have. The business I have been running now for the last 17 years is specifically the oldest surviving independent automotive repair business within the community it exists. We have been in business since 1953, under the precise same business name and ownership lineage since the time of it's inception. We are very serious about what is we do.
S.R.L., as I have made clear, this is a very tough business to survive in. I have seen many in my day fail miserably due the type of pretentious ignorance that you're attempting to feign here as being some real level of qualified expertise.
If the crap should ever hit the fan, I am certain you would make for an excellent used car salesman, or, as a far reach.., motivational speaker.
Obviously, you’re employed in mid-level management.
I’m curious, did you marry into your job?
