Unfortunately as well it sounds like in shopping around for a competent mechanic you have hit just as many bad places that do not understand the car anymore than an untrained novice.
I wish i could make a recommendation to help you out. But your attitude that it is a fault of every aveo and not something you are doing is not going to help you like the car anymore. Its great the you had a toyota, isuzu a subaru and ford that had absolutely no problems, never needed to go to the dealership / mechanic one time in the 200,000 miles you drove them. They why did you need to get rid of them? they ran perfect.
mechanics predicting how many miles anything will last is total bull**** as well, saying it should go 100k miles before you have this trouble and you only got 70k is all opinion. There is no evidence or requirement that any car should make it 100k versus 60k or 150k aside from the timing belt, and even those are recommendations, not solidified in stone.
I think you have been fed a ton of misinformation, and now you dont know which way is up. You need to find someone competent to fix the car you own and someone who can fix it once. You say you do not buy cheap tires, but high prices do not mean better, its all about the specs, you can have $50 tires that are better than $200 tires based on how you drive, where, and the performance you expect. But alas i typed this for nothing, its the aveos fault.
