So how come every time I see a car in the scrapyard that's less than 5 years old, it's a GM?

Posted by vince Hey nostra can you give me details about that place you said? If I decide to get up my ass and treat my car I would go there.

http://www.barrysrustproofing.com/ its a dump, he takes no appointments, first in front of the door, and i swear by him, does great work, but works on island time! the place looks like a chop shop on a busy saturday

Maybe it's because there are more GMs on our roads ?

maybe its because Canadians are awful to their cars? Maybe its the scrapyards you frequent? or maybe you're trying to get a rise out of me?

in my town there are 2 volks only scrapyards!

I was gonna go with the "they aren't very good" option.

I think it's because Canadians wreck mostly GM vehicles. Go to BC for example and you find LOTS of smashed Chevy Trucks!

BC is not Canadas only populated province so thats not entirely relevant. Hell, BC has 1/3 the population of Ontario. And out here, the yards are full of GMs and Chryslers. they just produce lots of crap.

I didn't say any of these vehicles in the wreckers were smashed, did I?

maybe Canadians are just clueless when it comes to car care?

That's obviously it.

maybe nobody cares to take care of said products, almost like having a red headed step child

Posted by Nismo Audi is 12 years, and it doesn't even have to pierce a hole, Audi doesn't want their older cars looking like shit so they'll warranty it to keep their name looking good.

good luck getting work done under warranty. I had to fight Audi Lauzon in Laval to do repair work on one of my doors on my A4. They ended up doing it after much trouble, but did piss poor work.

BC is the only province where I have looked around in the Junkyards. I never got a chance to hunt around in Ontario or Quebec junkyards.

Also, keep in mind, GM from WWII to the 90s, was the largest car maker in the world so of course you will find their products in the majority of scrap yards!

and your point is? i have a buddy who owns stake in a kia dealer, doesnt mean they are good cars and service advisors dont have to be technical people, they are nothing more than salesmen cross bred with cashiers

THIS

Except at my Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge dealer, the cashier knows more than the service advisors. Then again, she's basically Jennifer from WKRP mixed with HerbLaur.
