It is unusual to find a manager that will put themselves in the line of everyday work sometimes. It helps him build respect and connection with the employees. He can better understand any problems, stress or other issues they may be having. He seems to treat even the lowest person on the pole as an equal. Those are the qualities that help bring success.

Sounds like a form of planned obsolescence when Hoovie talked about ill designed engineering. Support right to repair!
yep, you don't repair thing nowadays... throw them and buy new ones.. good for the dealers, car industry and insurance.. too bad for the paying consumers.. it's still our fault though.. we keep on buying them and fall into endless debt..
No it’s the fact no one wants to work and build things now. They all want to suck the governments tits.
Right to repair and repairability are two very different things.
Right to repair just means you can get parts and schematics. It doesn't guarantee against planned obsolescence.
Could be planned obsolescence, but there are shortages all over the place. Where I work, we are being quoted 99 week lead times on some semiconductors. Economies all over the world are a mess right now and it's affecting the availability of all sorts of stuff.
The issue with the Gladiator is most likely an issue we've had before at my work. It's not they don't make them, they're just limited availability because of either the vehicle being too new or special editions using special parts. The S209 parts are hard to get and limited availability. Parts are also a big issue in the car industry right now and even things as simple as our wipers and air filters are unavailable bc Subaru can't get them from their distributors. He does talk further about planned or perceived obsolescence but the thing is that the need for OEM parts on older vehicles rarely is worth the cost to keep manufacturing them. Toyota and Honda are pretty good at that though
People need to get over the old hyundai stuff their newer offerings are legit.

@@jonnotshared7590 I knew a woman who bought a Santa Fe with 112k on the clock she pushed that beast all the way to 124k before the engine started knocking.
I'm driving a similar car here in Europe, a 2005 Kia Sportage with the 2 litre turbo diesel engine and apart from regular maintenance only a false airbag light error is nagging. Very sturdy car too when I t-boned a Renault Scenic - almost no damage contrary to the Renault.
Yeah, I've waited 4 months for a warrantied clutch replacement on a 1.0l 6spd ford focus, this parts shortage is ridiculous.
reason why automakers these days dont have many parts availability anymore is the same struggle people are fighting for in the "Right To Repair" arena.. i.e. how Apple doesn't support or supply parts to 3rd party repair facilities, and rather attempt to talk customers into trading/buying a new phone or mac over a $5 part and send the otherwise easily fixable phone to the landfill.. Or how John Deere doesn't want farmers to be able to work or modify their own farm equipment, or same with Tesla, how they disable features (i.e. supercharging) if you modify the car, do your own repairs yourself, or buy a salvaged one, etc,
so in simple terms, manufacturers are pushing more and more obsolescence and instead want and push customers replace otherwise easily repairable products if the parts were made available, so by intentionally not making parts available, they force customers to buy a new product. And the proof you need is that even certain currently still produced vehicles can be totaled over parts availability, which you know is non-sense as obviously parts exist otherwise how are they able to keep new vehicles rolling off the assembly lines, it's simply because the mfg is keeping the parts away from the public and repair facilities as they want these vehicles to be made obsolete/totaled if things beyond maintenance parts need to be replaced so that way the customer potentially trades-in or buys a new replacement vehicle from them.
7 people (and counting) know what's up.
I work in a collision shop, and you are absolutely right. We have had multiple “new” cars come in for repairs and we struggle to find new parts for them. Our only saving grace is part recycling companies, that recycle parts from totaled, salvaged or scrapped cars.
The* reason
I don't think they are required to keep parts in stock 10 years out anymore. Mom has a 08 PT Cruiser that only has 58k on it and many of the critical parts are no longer available. She just gave it to us because she's getting too old to drive so now it's my problem. I fixed it for her once the warranty ran out but till recently parts were easy and cheap to find and I'll do upullit to get parts not available anymore. Problem with that is once they hit 20 years old the good parts disappear. I went through that with the 95 Neon coupe I used to drive. Tons of good parts to pick from, then last spring I needed a drivers door and I got lucky enough to find one reasonable condition door cheap. Much earlier I needed a crank position sensor and there were rows and rows of similar cars to pull one from so I got several to be sure I got a good one. I don't have the money to buy a new car but I can afford a nice older used one and fix things myself so the game continues.
@@69Dartman Fair Point. My Shops parts distributors usually coordinate with scrap and salvage yards, so there are plenty of cars to pull parts from. I have an 04 Camry I’m currently maintaining. So far, no issues with part availability. Although considering the frequency of them left on the road, I may just be lucky.
I remember in the 90s Hyundai came to Britain when the weather was hot the dashboard started to melt true fact 🇬🇧👍🏻
When Toyota and Honda were upstart their stuff was short life junk. Hyundai and Kia improved more quickly than those two highly regarded players did.
How bad does a car have to be when one named after a location in the American Southwest gets its butt kicked by British weather?

It took me a while to warm up to your personality. But now I get it. You and the Car Wizard are very informative and I thank you both for saving me time and headaches on some of these vehicles.
Here’s a Chrysler story for you.
My dad purchased a brand new 2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, with the 2.0T in late 2018 (which is a little bit rare now, since you can’t get that combination anymore). He loved it - except it broke down. It was in the shop four times, and once (this was pre-pandemic), it was in the shop for a solid month because they couldn’t find body parts for it…and a small 4x4 switch. Yep. A small switch - took a month. He sold the car though, for a new car a few weeks ago.
Another reason why we should all be fighting for "Right To Repair" bills to be passed both at the state level and federal level.
This has nothing to do with "Right To Repair". It can be repaired, but the repair isn't worth the cost and time to the insurance company due parts shortages.
@@felix8289 ...As Tyler mentioned in the video, many other vehicles are mechanical write offs because of a lack of any sort of parts availability. Right to repair legislation will most definitely help.
You can repair it. Just don’t file a claim with your insurance company. Or when your insurance offers you the ability to buy it back, buy it back and fix it. Most parts for “Domestic” vehicles in the US are offered by their respective dealership, albeit they are mighty proud of their parts and the price shows. But… I don’t if you’ve notice the clear lack of parts availability for just about anything out there, not just cars, computer components… yea, this isn’t a right to repair deal, it’s a lack of ability to repair in a timely manner, so instead of paying up to $600 a week for a rental car, and probably storage fees for the wrecked car for a unforeseen amount of time they’ll just total the car as that gets expensive, fast for the insurance companies.
@@marv8481 Right to Repair would more then likely increase aftermarket and OEM availability for parts. So you can get it repaired in a timely manner.
Doesn’t do anything. The problem isn’t that you aren’t allowed to buy the parts. The problem is they don’t exist. And the cars are so complicated and use one off parts that you can’t get or make a generic part. Basically companies just stopped caring if the cars are fixable.
Just some honest feedback, for me the sound volume difference between the in- and outro and the "live" footage of picking up the car was huge.
Shhhhhh 🤫
Yeah, that scared the crap out of me.
Agreed. I would of preferred Hoovie normalizing the volume throughout the video...
As someone who manages auto claim reps for a large company, that Jeep would have a huge salvage value making it easier to total than fix. We see it a lot, these are strange times.
It's cheaper to pay 60% of the value and then to have the car parted out thru the network for a 70% overall profit.
that D44 axle in the gladiator is only backordered a couple months. source: jeep mechanic. we just replaced a gen2 D44 on a rubicon wrangler
Yes but two months or more of a vehicle rental while it is in the shop gets expensive. Easier for them to write off and sell for salvage.
So then you scavenge the axle housing off another Jeep and you check the gear carrier for damage. If it’s ok then you just reuse the carrier
There used to be a rule that manufacturers had to supply parts for ten years from new. I guess that's not so anymore.
The rule still exists however with the "just in time supply chain" there are no extra parts for new vehicles, every part is headed for the production line. This isn't anything new, in 1983 I worked for a racing team and we were building a Dodge Charger (the FWD car) for an IMSA series and the Charger has a quarter window delete with a plastic panel in its place. We could not get the panels, eventually we were able to convince someone to "steal" us a pair off the production line! They were making just enough for manufacturing and no more. Its how "just in time" parts delivery works and its how most manufacturing is run on a worldwide scale today.
I'm not gonna read that other guy's essay, but the fact of the matter is that the covid shutdowns destroyed the supply chain. Jeep can't get the axles from the axle factory because the axle factory can't get the steel from the steel refinery because the steel refinery can't get the steel from the mines because the mines have been shutdown and because there is so much that's been waiting to ship for a year that it's hard to get your stuff on a boat right now.

No, not really like that at all. It's not like this vehicle isn't repairable, it's just not repairable under replaceable value. It's still likely going to live on, but it'll do it with a salvaged history.
You might wanna educate yourself on the repair-ability of electric cars.. It's so easy for manufacturers to software lock replacement parts on their cars to force owners into the dealership repair shop instead of fixing it themselves. Also, parts availability is typically worse for those cars than regular ones.
To a certain extent that's already happened. So many parts for gasoline cars require coding, and parts availability sucks. I think he's talking about the future when they aren't niche products, but rather the main kind of car that is sold. Dealership software always gets leaked and spread everywhere, and the aftermarket always figures out how to code this. Regardless this is why Right to Repair is so dang important, stuff like coding window regulators should be illegal, or very very easy to get around.
Vehicles Do have feelings! After all, the new one heard him saying how his Cousin on the other lot was a hunk of junk. So, he tried to run over Hoovies foot!

What the insurance company pulled sounds like a "Right to Repair" issue.
The other side to a total loss is they can get top dollar for all the parts on the totaled car that are in short supply.
Yup. Work at a body shop and we just had a ‘17 mustang gt total because they could get so much for the drivetrain and other components.
Insurance company maximizes auction value. Dealership gets to sell a new car. Scrap yard gets to sell a bunch of almost new parts.
The system is working as planned. That's why manufacturers don't care to provide parts beyond the length of their warranty.

@@asgdhgsfhrfgfd1170 They used to say that manufacturers made all their money from spare parts and that if you made a car out of nothing but spare parts it would be ten times the sticker price. One of the reasons for cars being scrapped is the cost of labour to repair them compared to the value of the car. Do to it needing a few separate jobs I once spent more on repairing a car in a year than it was worth. However, after that I had three years of trouble free motoring and the next owner a couple more years.

Honestly this is so true my uncle had a 2017 Mercedes GLE and someone pulled out and hit the front passengers corner of it, less than a year old with 7600 miles and a $58k window sticker ended up totaled because the impact sliced to many wires and Mercedes fought with his insurance to total it since they said it would have massive electrical problems since getting the wires right would be so difficult, it’s just a different world than my old 00s cars.
I learnt a lesson 25 years ago And it never fails
The more options it has the more CAN go wrong.
The more WILL go wrong
@@brownwrench The more ALREADY gone wrong!
So ur not a big fan of the S class?
*in and out in and out, all day long” guy knows a good time
We just bought a new2020 Tucson Limited for $11K off sticker. Super worth it!!! Had a Hyundai Genesis back in the day and loved it. Super glad to have another one.
My first Hyundai was a 1985 Pony. You remember those? It was such a POS that when we went around a corner the doors would fly open randomly since the lock mechanism wasn't engaging. We had to use a bungee cord on the inside to hold the doors from opening too much.
"Why would anyone go from a pony country to a non-pony country"???
Someone tries too give me a chrysler product.
Me: grabs gasoline and lighter.
begone trash!
I’m glad I’m not the only person who can recognize how nice the new Genesis looks!
I've owned a couple of unicorn cars. 2002 Lincoln LS Manual Sport with LSE package was the rarest. I had to source a replacement flywheel out of the UK from a Jaguar parts liquidator. When it was totaled from being rear ended the guilty party's insurance was willing to pay the $8000 to fix it but there was going to be no way we would be able to find the LSE unique rear bumper cover and trunk lid trim. Lincoln Blackwood (F150s) are in the same category. The risk you take.
Agreed, I have one, great Daily Drivres, can't beat the warranty!
Glad to see Hyundai getting some love, them and Kia have been doing some really cool stuff.
My 2020 KIA after 15K miles is working perfectly (knocks on wood). I thank those bad opinions about KIA for keeping the price low. Thanks guys!
Kia and Hyundai are the same company. It's like Chevy and GMC.
Kinda. It’s slightly more complex, but they’re closely tied.
Also they have the best engine fires
It's still a Hyundai. Worthless
I got so triggered when Hoovie trash talked the 1st gen Santa Fe 😂😂 my mom had a 2004 Santa Fe for 8 years and put 300k miles with no issues and we absolutely loved it
"No issues" for an 8 year old car is fictitious. Maybe you've got high standards for what constitutes as an "issue".
So you’re the guy.
@@maxheadroom224 Actually it was 4 years old when we bought it and had 30k miles on it. All that needed to be done was regular maintenance like with any car
I did too! They are fantastic cars, parts are cheap, good quality and performance, easy to work on. What's to complain about ......paint flaking after 20+ years being outside? C'mon... I see many Santa Fe's cruising around in great condition--there's a reason for that.
I had a first gen as well back in the mid-2000's with the 4 banger and a 5 speed, bought it used back in 2004 with just shy of 100,000km on it.. it was only two years old at the time.
It was slow as a dog, but it was fairly reliable. If you maintain them, they will last. It had some quirks with the timing belt, but as long as you kept on top of it and were religious about replacing it every 40-60k, you were fine - seemed to be a common problem with the early first gens. I ended up getting rid of it locally at about 430,000km and still saw it driving around my town for a couple of years afterwards.
The interior in this thing is stunning. It's a big upgrade over my 2010 Genesis coupes interior.
As a Hyundai sales manager thanks for the Santa Fe Calligraphy shoutout. That car is pretty nice. The GV80/GV70 will parallel park for you from outside the car.
As someone who sells Hyundai’s you should’ve just bought the Santa Fe Limited you paid a lot more for a suede headliner and 20 inch wheels that’s the only differences
He should have bought a rav 4 hybrid. Way better gas mileage and less depreciation, time at dealer.
He probably got a killer deal
@@grahamstefaan true with the miles he drives, but can you even find one right now?
It may have been what was on the lot - they needed a new car quickly because the Jeep was undriveable.
@@grahamstefaan Tyler's family does gets better discounts at the Hyundai store (Hatchett family) over the Toyota one (Eddy's)...the Calligraphy was tested by Daddy Dougy
Electric cars are simple! Germany: "Hold my beer."
Oh yeah, they'll turn it into some serious Rube Goldberg shit.
Oh yeah, they'll turn it into some serious Rube Goldberg shit.
I almost spit out my beer at this dumbass statement. Electric cars are WORLDS more complicated than a 5 year old gasoline car... Jesus man...
@@elesjuan Actually, they are way more simple than ICE cars…
@@ApfelmannYT rofl
As someone who just had the timing chains and balance shafts replaced on my jag, it is not an easy job. Hard to find a car that's fun to drive that gets the same mileage though.
Hyundai is so good nowadays, i actually love how they drive very well nowadays and tbh I really think alot of people sleep on them
Not really. Friend of mine has a 2012 Hyundai Elantra that’s burning 3 quarts off oil in 3500 miles. They’ll get you to about 100,000 miles before they’ll nickel and dime you to death. My 08 accent made it to 2019 but at 128,000 miles I was having a cold start issue that was burning up starters, it refused to make power then. After that was cleared up it needed a whole new exhaust system and the power steering rack went. Cost to fix both the steering and exhaust? 1200 bucks, value of the car? About 300 bucks therefore it was not worth it to spend 900 bucks more then the car was worth to fix it
1988 Excel GLS sedan stick shift made it to 1993 with about 150K on the odometer. Catalytic converter internal honeycomb crumbled to bits and couldn't be replaced by me (the consumer) back then. Had to punt it. Also, had a timing belt break at around 120K, thankfully non-interference setup.
@@matthewcaughey8898 thats odd, i never had those issues with their diesels down the times ive used them, and yeah tbh those elantras are beaters
@@SkipperReu we can’t the diesels in the United States unfortunately. So we have to make do with reheated old gas engines. My Hyundai had the alpha 2 which was the old flea bitten Mitsubishi engine with a DOHC head and some upgrades chucked around it . But they couldn’t hide the fact they were using an engine that was over 2 decades old.
I'm 57. the auto industry just gives me the creeps anymore.
Haha, more like every industry. Internet/cable providers are right up there with them, if not leading the way.
Everything is becoming evil.
anymore? should have from about 50 years ago too.... at least they stopped messing around with safety. repairs and stupid things like not making enough parts is dumb too but when the auto makers looked at how many people die based on a bad design and if they'll fix it or just pay out hush money - that should give you the creeps...
I am also 57 live in the Uk in the 80 ‘s Fiat brought out a model called strada it advert was designed by computer build by robots ( and driven by morons) the last bit was not in the ad
@@snwboardn21 The cable industry is over and done though. They just haven't realized it yet. We still need to replace our old cars however. Mine is 16 years old and I hate the idea that I have to go shopping for one and deal with issues like this.
Maybe you should get onboard with Louis Rossman's push for right to repair in New York, because parts availability effects everyone in the country.
p.s. even if you're not doing repairs yourself, parts availability allows other individual shops to perform the repair for you, as you have been doing on this channel
I gotta say my mom had a Hyundai Santa Fe. The 2006 almost the same as that one you were first looking at. Learned how to drive in it and it honestly wasn’t bad! Decent v6 lol
Electric cars are not simple or easy to work on. Theoretically they’re simple, but they have very complicated electronics and they’re exempt from needing OBD2 ports (though only Tesla leaves it out as far as I know) which makes repairing them nearly impossible for customers and independent mechanics. Parts are even more difficult to get for Teslas. The repair process for some minor body damage on TFL’s model 3 took forever
My Hoopty homie😞
Pour one out
@@TWOxTONE_773 first pour of this oil jug going on my garage floor for the rubicon.
"Pour one out for the hooptie homies" 💀🤣🤣🤣
I bought a Veloster when they first came out (under 20k). It was a real head turner. Did absolutely nothing except oil, tires and brakes over 7 years. Got 40 mpg. At 127k it started to have a lot of small problems that would have been really expensive to get repaired so I traded it in and got a Kona.
One of the main reasons that automakers are selling less parts separate, is so they can sell more cars.
Let's say you blow a shock, what used to be only a few thousand dollars is now 10-20 thousand, and hard to find, forcing you to buy a new car, and if you can't afford that.. you get a used car (which will eventually have the same problem)
Few thousand for a shock? What the fuk kinda shocks u running?
So happy you are shining a spotlight on how great Hyundai/Genesis cars are. Kia/Hyundai cars are incredible value and they routinely rank at the tops of customer satisfaction. The new Genesis lineup is really giving Lexus/MB/Audi/BMW a run for their money in the mid size luxury segment.
How are they ranking in residuals?
04:58 But electric cars will have just the same Problems with parts availability. Yes, the engines are simpler but everything around it, is mechanically the same but electronically much more complex. Same problem, different parts.
Many of the car problems I have had have been in the suspension. The Car Wizard often finds problems when inspecting vehicles too. With all the extra weight of batteries it wouldn't be surprising if electric cars are even more prone to worn linkages etc.
I agree 100%, it makes me laugh people saying they are simple and will hardly ever need repairing
That is a nice new car and thumbs up for taking care of the guy who looks after your businesses.
I did an internship at Hyundai, they've come a long way and are really great value
There was a long article in Automobile (when it was in print) that the guys that ran Toyota in the early 80's... are now at the helm of Hyndai/Kia in the US.
Parts availability is a good thing to study when you're looking at used cars. If you stick to bread and butter models and makes, it's not an issue, but even pretty minor variations from the huge seller vehicles can lead to much more expensive repairs. I have a Honda Element SC, which is a very minor variation from the more common model, but has required my mechanic to order parts from Japan a couple times... if I remember correctly it was some suspension components that wore out.
Honda and Toyota are the best duh
I can confirm. Parts availability is there for my old LS400 but everything is "Special Order," and used market is practically non-existent where I live. And that's a 25 year old Lexus/Toyota
Buying a car is an emotional thing for a lot of people and they don't think what will happen tomorrow.
@@mexicanspec absolutely, 100%. people have been trained since childhood to shut their brain off and get worked over at a car dealer so they can walk out with a social status accessory car. I know I was one of them for many years until I figured out how crazy expensive it is to buy new.
Hyundai actually makes very very serviceable, they are easy to work on relative to a lot of other stuff. Korean engineers are very very good and actually think about how people use stuff. It's nice
I got a 2020 KIA Soul EX at 19 by myself !😎 with the new redesign I couldn’t be happier !
Tyler for god sake fix the sound levels.
Every Video the same turn up the volume to 9999 when you are in the garage.
Get blasted after you switch into the car oder something else.
My old heart cant handle that shit anymore :D

I couldn’t be happier going from a Jeep to a Hyundai
Interesting. I can't wait to see the repair bills. That technology ain't cheap to repair. There is one thing that would make me look elsewhere, and that is the positioning of the headlamps and rear turn signals in the bumpers. The turn signals at the rear are vulnerable to parking lot damage as the bumper cover offers zero protection. Also, when you need the 4 way flashers on the side of a freeway or in an emergency situation, they are not particularly visible to cars behind, and in snowy conditions get covered to the point of invisibility. The headlamps are also left vulnerable to minor parking lot impacts. They are particularly vulnerable to pick up truck bumpers. No thanks.
The cost of repair on new vehicles and the difficulty getting parts is a large reason I will stick with my 1990 Volvo 240 wagon. A complete light set for Arthur, including new European E Code glass lights and both turn signals, is a whopping $350 US, and even allowing for shipping to Canada, would arrive in 5 business days.
This almost happened to my 2000 Z3 about 10 years ago when a Chevy 2500 drove over my hood and bumper. I wouldn't settle on totalling nor salvage title. I had the upper hand since it was his insurance. I got the value of the car and paid repair difference myself. The hood came from Bavaria.
