If you've ever checked into some of the technician training Tuffy Kentwood (Kalamazoo Ave SE) professionals receive, you may be surprised at how much specialized knowledge and skill goes into diagnosing and repairing a modern car. For example: Today there are four cylinder engines that generate more power than the 1980s-era V-8's. I mean a new V-6 Toyota Camry could beat Sonny Crocket's Ferrari in a race to 60 mph/100 kph.
Our engines are more and more powerful and at the same time their fuel economy keeps inching up – even with steep Kentwood gas prices. They are also amazingly reliable: Kudos to the automotive engineers. But the advances come at the price of simplicity.
