    Just a suggestion but I saw the Car Care Nut AMD whose videos we see posted by others here opened his own shop. Myself I would trust this guy implicitly and being independent more so. As you may now he was a mechanic at a dealer for years. He is in Illinois but the trust might make worthwhile for you. I took some quick pics from YouTube at work of his contact info.

    I was also when I got my 2021 in June of 21. Mine came in and I noticed some small rust on the welds in the seams. I’d suggest putting por 15 on those and some fluid film asap. I did not notice mine until two months and never drove it in rain or inclement weather.

    It’s a great vehicle overall just worry about the rusting. That’s why mine is a summer vehicle only and will never see snow and hopefully not rain and still get fluid filmed
