re: How many of you baws actually work on your own cars?

When I was younger and couldn’t afford to really pay someone, I did it myself. When I could afford to pay someone I still did it myself for a while. As I’ve gotten older, my time is more precious to me and I’ve found a mechanic I trust so I pay someone now. I also get someone to do my oil changes now as well, it doesn’t save enough money for me to mess with it anymore. I can afford it and people need to make a living.

I occasionally help a friend or family member, it is still something I enjoy until I bust a knuckle or two
