@advicepig same. Trust my family mechanic to do tires.
He’s old school but no fool. He’s seeing people switch to EVs and then he doesn’t see them again except for tires.
Used to see him all the time for the Camry. Oil every 6k. Timing belts. Brake rotors. Oil leaks. Muffler. Now we go over there to take him banana bread and shoot the breeze. He knows his business is changing, same as my Dad who had a film processing shop. Digital came and he just smiled and retired.
@sidereal @robloblaw @johne @jeffmcneill @mekkaokereke this is the thing that somehow doesn’t make it into the media narratives.
Being an EV driver I make a point of talking to EV drivers.
The response is always“my EV needs no maintenance”. Sure, tires, wipers, cabin air filters and wiper fluid but that’s it.
Took my VW in for a “service inspection”. Service desk person says “EVs don’t need servicing. This is a formality”.
How is it that this story is not making it into the news?
