America runs on GREED so the mechanics are getting greedy; exactly like the medical systems guarantee you cannot get decent care for a fair dollar. Actually, I get around this issue on big jobs like a bad transmission or a cylinder head job - I take the car to MEXICO and labor rates are 1/4 of what they charge here and, also, my mechanic in Mexico is well aware of all the tricks mechanics use in the USA like using time studies and doubling the price of parts for customers, etc.

Often, I have driven long distance in Mexico and some say their gas is not as good, but I don't erally experience anything different. Maybe an improved intake, but I'll discuss this with my mechanic.

I have a 2013 Tahoe RWD with @ 145,000 and the heavy duty tow package. It runs spectacularly, especially after I bought a DiabloSport Tuner to deactivate AFM and install the economy 87 octane tune. That tune gives a much, MUCH better throttle response and the truck is no longer sluggish during acceleration. Also, I no longer worry about an AFM lifter collapsing and destroying the engine... a $4000-5000 repair.

I Have a 2011 Chevy Avalanche with 114,000 miles and love it. Never no issues runs like new. I plan to keep it for ever until its considered a classic. Will put a new engine transmission when they wear down. The only thing I hate about these GM vehicles is the flimsy dashboards that crack and dry out out. I ended up putting a dash skin cover on my avalanche. Looks like oem and new and better cheaper alternative of replacing the whole dashboard. Surprised that Tahoe in video does not have no cracks.

Wife had an 08 tahoe. Pretty decent vehicle. All it needed was the oil sender at the back of the intake manifold and an idler pulley because it made that squealing sound they all make but she didn't like it. That's all i ever had to do to it until she hydroplaned and totalled it. Now she has a 2013, I've done brakes on it and aside from fluid changes nothing else. They're pretty reliable.

I bought an '07 Avalanche a few years back. Trans went out and that's when I found out they owner before me was pulling something way overweight for the truck. So, it was no surprise when the engine went out. Got a Jasper remanufactured one slapped in. And you're right, I can do that numerous times and still not reach the price of a new one!

I had a 2005 Suburban 4WD and drove it until 2015; mostly highway driving between Milwaukee and Chicago. Put on over 200K miles and was very comfortable but it did eat suspension parts with all the pot holes in the Chicago area. Every year, I would look for something nicer, but never could find a better ride for the buck. Now I'm in a Highlander up north and an Accord down south.

I have done minor changes, TPS, alternator, brakes, shocks, headlights, driver's lower seat and foam. I have put on 120k miles, now at 190k. This Tahoe runs great, looks great. A new engine or transmission from an overpriced dealer is still a small fraction of a new Tahoe..... This SUV is a long term keeper.

Btw, my registration says my body style is a station wagon, not an suv which makes sense to me. The term suv gets applied to a lot of vehicles.
