Yes, this is one reason why new vehicles are so expensive. And why dealerships are such profitable businesses. The more they screw up, the more money they make.

Are other manufacturers this bad? Maybe the Tesla model of manufacturer provided warranty repairs is better.

That's quite a jump implying Tesla would somehow be better.

Back to the subject at hand. Another factor in proper repairs...is it also depends on how repairs to the vehicle are done, by the mechanic in question. If he's sloppy, not thorough, not skilled, etc...then chances are the repair is going to reflect this state of affairs.

The other thing is a good mechanic may be working at one garage one day and another garage the next day.

Any repair is only going to be as good as the guy who does the repair. Of course if the company employing the worker, is looking for short cuts that affect the quality of the repair, then it doesn't matter how good the mechanic is.
