00:00Now I understand as a business you have to make money, of course, but this is starting to get ridiculous
00:07from these car manufacturers telling us that we're not allowed to fix our own cars. It's absolutely crazy. As far
00:15as I'm concerned, any manufacturer, any company that wants to tell us that we're not allowed to fix our own
00:20cars can go in the toilet. But what do y'all think? Let me know.
00:27But you don't want people repairing their own vehicles?
00:30No, that's fine. Not for warranty work, though. These are very complicated cars and we don't think that's safe. For
00:38many of the repairs on our vehicles, someone at home like myself could never do it. I have no problem
00:45working on a 73 Bronco. To work on a brand new Bronco, I need all sorts of specialty tools. That's
00:52something that we would put people's lives at risk.
00:55Here's what real Americans have to say about this. If I can't work on my own vehicle, I expect a
01:00bumper to bumper warranty for at least 200,000 miles.
01:04Obviously, we all kind of agree with this one, but you need special tools because you design them like that.
01:10Exactly. Auto manufacturers design vehicles that you can't work on. That's how they make their money.
01:15Now, let's look at the data. Now, it looks like about $101 billion in revenue comes from Ford Blue, which
01:22is parts and service. Ford Pro, which is another parts and service thing, they have about $66.3 billion in
01:29revenue.
01:29So overall, they make about $50 billion every single year from parts and repairs. I think we found the real
01:37reason why they don't want you repairing a vehicle.
