YouTube Is Replacing Mechanics: How DIY Repairs Are Saving Drivers Money

A dollar simply doesn’t go as far as it used to go. There are plenty of ways to respond to that as a car owner. You can drive less to save fuel, you can trade your new car in for something pre-owned, or you can haggle with your auto insurance provider.

Like many automakers, Dodge evolved from being a machine shop that supplied parts and assemblies in the early 1900s to a fully-fledged automaker. The Dodge brothers started building cars in 1914 under the ‘Dodge Brothers’ brand – the company was sold to Chrysler in 1928, originally producing trucks, full-sized passenger cars and compact cars. These days, the brand is known for performance cars like the iconic Charger and Challenger, sold under the Stellantis banner.
