Everyone always talks about how it is more expensive to get car repairs done at a dealer than at an independent repair shop – but do we know that for sure, or is it simply a gut feeling?

I was listening to a podcast this morning and a caller called in with an issue she was having with her 2005 Subaru Outback. She lives in a city and has to parallel park A LOT, and every time she turns her steering wheel to make an extreme turn, her car makes an incredibly terrible sound - like “squirrels in a blender” as she described it.
Now, I don’t know about you but that sound alone would cause me to avoid any situation with even the slightest chance that I may have to parallel park. I’m still wondering even in this moment if there wasn’t a less disturbing way to describe the sound…I guess it must have been just that bad.
