[AT] Solar battery charger setup

[rlgoss]

Some of those changes you noted are the direct result of the re-imbursement guidelines for warranty work. The allowable charge-back to the company is governed by the flat-rate schedule and repair of components is not a part of that. Quite often, the dealer has to do a particular job on a particular model several times before they break even on doing it for customers. The result is that you see component and assembly replacement, and no repairs.

David that is the trouble with all of these cars.
Most dealers aren't even equipped to deal with the
electronic problems.  Oh they can throw parts at it until
it runs but as far as actually diagnosing and fixing the real
problem, if they do it's luck.

I beginning to look for a replacement for my 2001 Malibu. Might be a 
couple years away (hopefully) and will probably be a used vehicle. The 
tech has change massively - good or bad.
Actually I have been looking at a hybrid - if the price is right makes 
sense for me but my trusted mechanic is not equipped to deal with a 
hybrid car. That does make a difference to me. I trust his work ...
