My dad recently sent me a youtube video about some important things to consider when owning a Toyota Raize. I watched it and I realized it would be more practical to just continue maintenance in the service center even after the warranties and other stuff are done.
This is not a knock against service stations, or maybe I'm just being paranoid. I just think the more practical solution is to have experts maintain and repair the car than trying out independent service centers. This doesn't mean bad things may happen to the car in the authorized service center, but hopefully these bad things are less likely to occur. We shall see.
Another thing I thought about while watching the video is that it seems to me that these new cars are built to have an "expiration date" that basically means you should probably try to sell them after x number of years and buy a new car. I guess everything is disposable nowadays.
Out.
