      Sadly, my dad had considered back in the 70's of becoming an AAMCO Franchise, but after starting down the rabbit hole, discovered things he was not thrilled with and choose to stay independent. As such, the whole Icahn approach to how they run things has turned me off from these companies. I have little faith in them being honorable and more about how to take your money and give little back.

      I went and looked at their wikipedia and their tangled web of finance and ownership would make the Volkswagen Automotive Group blush.

      @ccap41 @Drew Dowdell  Pep Boys is currently owned by Icahn Automotive Group LLC Icahn Automotive Group LLC owns Pep Boys, Auto Plus, Precision Tune Auto Care, AAMCO Total Auto Care I agree that once the lawsuit is over I can see VW picking up the servicing of Scout EVs. 350 miles of range for the Truck or SUV with AA/CP if they support it on an 800V system is a win and will have me very interested in the EVs to own.

      These were awesome engines, just needed a huge engine bay as any straight-line engine needs. I call BS on this, I feel that if you cannot respect the cost of taking care of your truck and to me abuse it by damaging it, then your just lazy and clearly have no idea about how to use tools properly. I have heavily used my trucks, SUVs and CARs and never babied them, but always kept them looking sharp. Yes, accidents happen and sometimes when one is tired you might put a scratch on it, but this truck has just been abused by someone that does not care. His statement of a Truck you're afraid to beat-up is no longer a truck is BS, you do not need to beat up a truck to still have it as a useful tool. A person who abuses their vehicles tells me a ton about their approach to how they work and live and they are just lazy and do not care. Do you really want a person like that working with you or doing work for you when they cannot take any pride in their own tools, makes one question if they would really take any pride in their job, products they do, etc.
