Just curious how many people here are doing their own maintenance & repairs.
I do 95% of my own work, and always encourage people to learn. Being able to look after your own vehicles is a path to independence (financial & other) and you never have to wonder if the repair shop is trying to rip you off!
Being able to fix your own stuff also means you can more confidently drive used/older vehicles, and save a gigantically huge pile of cash over your lifetime rather than making payments on new cars.
If you don't do your own work, why not?
If you do, how did you get started?
