Not really, most of the work ends up being warranty work (Honda is good about honoring warranties and often extends warranties on things like transmissions, emissions, and computers) and that only pays about 75% of a customer pay. In any case, we find the real problems creep in around government mandated safety and emissions equipment, and (I hate to say it) things that were assembled in the U.S. Still pretty stout cars, though.
