Wow, my 2012 Honda pilot just keeps going. 130k miles only done service and brakes. That includes towing small trailers.

As to mechanics, my sis once called me in tears about her car. All the studs were broken on a rear wheel that she had a shop put new tire on a week before. Then they wanted a ridiculous amount to do new rear wheel bearings because they claimed they had to pull the axle to change the studs.

I went down while the car was on the lift, and showed them how pop out the old studs without. Then reminded them that the likely cause was not torquing the wheel when replaced. You could see they were fresh snaps, not rust or cracks.

They did it for free, and I checked torque when she got it back.
