  • Just steer clear of Hyundai and Kia, any other car you might buy made in the last 25 years should come equipped with an engine immobilizer.

    Unlike Canada and several EU states, federal law in the US doesn’t mandate immobilizers, so Hyundai and Kia forwent installing them for a 6- year and 11-yeaemr stretch respectively solely because of greed. Meanwhile these very same models for the Canadian and EU markets had them.

    You can put your key fob in a Faraday cage when you’re not driving it, if you buy a push button start vehicle. This helps prevent theft via intercept of your fob’s radio transmissions for the type of thieves who stand outside your home at night with an antenna.


  • I don’t understand how an oil change mess up could have led to any of the things you had done at the dealership.

    Did JiffyLube simply not clean up areas where there was spilled oil when they took off the oil filter?

    Usually when we hear of stories from quick service oil change places, it’s that they forgot to put oil in, overfilled the oil, forgot to put the drain bolt back in, forgot the gasket on the drain bolt, under or overtorqued the drain bolt, etc.
