Why is the Dodge Journey so expensive to repair?

[VanKaylee]

The reasons why the Dodge Journey is expensive to repair are as follows: High maintenance costs for imported vehicles: The Dodge Journey does not have a production line in China, so the only way to purchase this vehicle is through import. The maintenance costs for imported vehicles have always been very high. When the Dodge Journey needs repairs, replacing original parts requires ordering from overseas and shipping them to China, making the repair costs naturally more expensive. Lack of aftermarket parts for niche vehicles: Many people feel that replacing original parts is too costly and unnecessary, so they often look for cheaper aftermarket parts when repairing their vehicles. However, due to the small audience for the Dodge Journey, very few manufacturers are willing to produce parts for this model, forcing owners to purchase original parts from overseas for repairs. Lack of mechanic experience: Similarly, because the Dodge Journey is a niche model, most mechanics in China lack experience in repairing this vehicle, and many have never even worked on one. Therefore, when the Dodge Journey develops "complex issues," it is difficult to find professional Dodge mechanics. Even if someone can repair it, the labor costs will be relatively high.
