Even old regularly easy repair work in early mid 2000s vehicles is getting worse because replacement parts quality has dropped off a cliff.
I regularly have to replace the same part 2, 3 times IMMEDIATELY OUT OF THE BOX because they’re defective or barely remanufactured (brake calipers are almost a complete crap shoot and new copies are harder and harder to buy, and if they arec can be up to 10x the price).
