AN expert mechanic has revealed three cars that will cost you the most in repair bills.<\/p>\n

Scotty Kilmer, who has 55 years of experience in the motors industry, took to his YouTube channel to warn drivers against buying these models.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Scotty singled out the Alfa Romeo Stelvio, Jeep Wrangler and Dodge Challenger as the "least reliable cars to buy as a daily driver".<\/p>\n

On the Alfa said: "They're terrible, they fall apart.<\/p>\n

"You don't buy the Alfa and drive it 30,000 miles a year unless you want bottomless money pit bills."<\/p>\n

While he did admit that it was a "good looking car" with a great transmission, the reliability was a major issue for him.<\/p>\n

He also mentioned that there are relatively few dealers that can work on them as Alfa is not a major brand on the same level as names like Audi or BMW.<\/p>\n

Next, Scotty turned his attention to the Jeep Wrangler.<\/p>\n

Despite its \u00a363,900 ($80,000) price tag, he recommended it for drivers who fancy a bit of rugged offroading but warned against using it day-to-day.<\/p>\n

He even praised Jeep's improvements in ride quality and in-car tech.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

However, he said that while they "look great" they break down "faster than a marriage".<\/p>\n

Between that and its low fuel economy, Scotty's verdict was that the Wrangler is just too costly to justify as a daily ride for most people.<\/p>\n

Finally, he took aim at the Dodge Challenger, which he said was best for "zooming around in" than using on the daily.<\/p>\n

He said: "It'll get you where you're going and it'll be fun to drive."<\/p>\n

However, the V8 model "scared the bejeezus out of him" as the 750 horsepower engine was, in his opinion, too powerful for the car.<\/p>\n

This also led to issues over the long term with fuel economy, tyres and the transmission, the latter of which can be especially difficult and expensive to replace.<\/p>\n

Social media commenters shared their appreciation for the advice.<\/p>\n

One wrote: "Scotty is the greatest car guy on YouTube."<\/p>\n

Another added: "Scotty [is] like the dad we didn\u2019t know we need."<\/p>\n
