Dude we just got done a strech in Regina here that was -56 with the windchill. The question of the day was "How come my command start didnt work" I would ask it the car was plugged in they said "No, thats why I got a command start" I reply "did you use the overnight timer" That is generall followed by a long silence or them trying to tell me that they dont have one. Then I say read your manual and hang up. Repeat as nessasary

I agree with everyone else, just the older ones seem to be a little dirtier.

I also appreciate when the owner has taken time to clean their vehicles out before bringing them to the shop versus bringing their vehicle to the shop with the trunk full of clothes and back seat piled up with clothes and homework and whatever else, wanting to have a couple amps installed and subwoofers and enclosure in the trunk, oh the fun of cleaning out someone else's car!! :(

I don't do installs proffessionally but I do alot of this stuff for other people as well as myself. I can say that I agree that when someone else has worked on the vehicle before it makes it more difficult. I don't mind newer cars, there are just more things to bypass and work on but that, to me, is part of the fun of the job. Domestic VS. Import doesn't make a big difference to me. My moms toyota is very simple, it has an alarm system on it but putting a remote start on it was actually pretty simple. I own a chevy and I found that that is pretty simple to work on as well. So, new or old, import or domestic, they're all fun to me.
