Yea I do most of my work... big things like motor mounts and timing belts I usually don’t have the time for so I give it to my mechanic.

i do most of the work that i am able to do. most of the maintanance, fluid change and exchange/replace type things are easy enough. you got to have some use for the manuals. All the difficult and time consuming stuff i have to let someone else do it since i have have no special tools, lift or garage

I have always done everything humanly possible, took the car to the dealer right after I bought it(first time over twenty years of driving), got the car back with some issues; never again.
Am making a setup now to replace the wheel bearings on the car.
Do my own aligmnments too.

I do all my own work, I have little to no respect for those who don't do there own work and bring it to the shop to have there motor swaps done etc.
