The probability does not change, if you use a pick and hold strategy you will win 1/3 of the time, if you use a pick and switch strategy you will win 2/3 of the time, it's that simple, no it does not guarantee you a car but it is in your best interest to switch mathematically.
The probability holds true, take the 3 door game and play it 50 times ( plenty of simulators on the net) using a pick and hold strategy, then with a pick and switch strategy, you will notice that the probability holds true.
