Curious as to how many OTers possess this great skill

I worked a little on my first car. Changed the radiator out, added a CAI, Headlights, etc.
Now I own a fancy car and not worry about fixing shite

Present. I find it cathartic at times.

I’ve done a couple minor things like changing alternator, changed a water pump and thermostat and some belts. Bout all I got.

I do my own earl, wiper blades, blinker fluid, lift kit, and nuts

I do everything that I can myself... Regardless of how wealthy I am, I can't fathom paying someone over $100 to change my brakes

YouTube has everything you need to fix any problem with your vehicle as long as you have the proper tools.
If my arse can replace a u-joint, anyone can

I have a Toyota so there’s nothing to work on

I still change my brake pads.
Fck changing my own oil. I get discounts and such most of the time that makes it cheaper than doing it myself.

other then the basic oil changes, filter, maybe an O2 sensor, or the belts, there is not much you can do any more
its ok if you choose not to, but if you "cant" change your own damn oil you aint a man

Replaced my front rotors and pads the other day.

I do pretty much all of it. Oil, brakes, fluids, etc, but I've also replaced starters, exhaust manifolds, idler pulleys, o2 sensors, and installed some basic stereo upgrades.
I enjoy it, but I also know who's at fault if something doesn't work right.

Learning currently.
I suck at this stuff but with YouTube I’m learning.
Have changed our theromostat, battery, alternator, of course tires and lights, some minor cosmetic stuff. It’s fun and saves a ton of money.

Not as much as when I had my Jeep but I do whatever I can. Most of my tool are in storage in Colorado. It pains me to take my car in to have work done.

Have the right tools
Have the right parts
Budget however much time you think you need and ad 50%
Watch a lot of YouTube vids
Unless it involves the computer or electrical system , I am balls deep in it.

Changed front wheel bearings the other day

Don't work on any of our daily driver's, but do enjoy turning a wrench on my weekend cruiser. It has never left me stranded.

I've got a 92 LS400 with half a million miles on the original engine/trans. All the gizmos still work and it still rides smooth as silk. No rattles or vibrations, motor still pulls hard.
I cant bring myself to get rid of it. It isnt worth enough to part with it. It also isnt worth enough to take to a shop so I do everything myself. I guess when something finally goes that I can't handle it will be done for. For now its nice to have a car I can put high miles on rather than my newer rides.
