Lots of office staff that needs to justify their jobs. Marketing who 'needs' improvements to sell. Engineers to make the improvements, lawyers to keep up with any regulation changes, then back to engineering to implement those changes. Managers to take credit for everyone doing actual work. Vice...

Are you absolutely sure it was an all new MAF? They should not be rebuilt but many remanufacture try.

Op already said that type of repair would be unacceptable. Maybe paintless can't make it 100% new looking. Maybe they can make the nine year old car look good from 10feet away and maybe OP would be okay with that.

It couldn't hurt to ask about the possibility of paintless dent repair at a paintless shop.

I've recently seen two alternators outputting lower voltage due to loose battery cables. I'd start with checking if the connections are clean and tight.

Last one where had I lost the key, I just ran a wood screw through it locking the two pieces together.

The S22 is a flagship phone designed to be the best of the best. Much like a Hellcat. The Moto G Power is all about battery life. Much like a 70's oil crisis Civic. But yeah, people own both and are happy with their choices as long as it meets their goals/needs.

In my experience, Stihl Ultra doesn't really burn in a two-stroke. It turns to a black tar that finds a place to build up over the years. Usually the muffler under the one baffle.

Somewhere beside your outside AC unit, there should be a pipe with water dripping out. If you find a dry pipe it's likely clogged and can't drain out. If you find a damp area and no pipe it is buried. (should never happen but does). Dig in the damp area til you find it and make a place for it to...

Are you asking about the wood making up the cabinets? That's just the sealer on the finish failing. Think of it like the clear coat on a car. Not pretty but harmless.

Teslas are more computer than car, I wouldn't trust it not to send a message to the service people "unexpected battery replacement detected, recommend disabling supercharging until the customer pays for entire vehicle electrical system inspection".

That guy totally deserved it for installing a smart lock to begin with.

Also you can buy thermostats with various temp ranges, Non OEM thermostats seem to have a wider acceptable range even when listed at the spec temperature.

Unless this fluid has the specification your car calls for printed on the bottle (not "meets" or "exceeds" or any other marketing word) your "contaminated" fluid was much closer to what the manufacturer specs.

For the most part, businesses run on Windows PCs and Linux servers. I think Apple would be counterproductive for this goal. If they get a future job where Macs are dominant, they will be learning/using software rather than the Operating System.
