😭 The once-simple task of replacing a car part has morphed into an engineering puzzle, often requiring the dismantling of half the vehicle just to access a buried component. This tension arises because engineers prioritize maximum performance and safety within a confined space, sometimes making ease of repair an afterthought. Modern engines are densely packed with sensors, emissions equipment, and structural supports, turning routine maintenance into a complex, labor-intensive procedure for the mechanic. Consequently, the cost and time required for standard auto repairs have dramatically increased, fueling consumer frustration and the “Right to Repair” movement. What structural or modular design changes could manufacturers implement to simultaneously meet safety standards and significantly improve vehicle serviceability? What are your thoughts? 🤔💭 ( Media: busseltonautorepairs ) #cars #mechanics #engineering
