When I was young I used to help my father work on the family car.He taught me the basics.He referred to me as his little grease monkey.

I used to do some but I don't any more. For one thing I'm driving a much more reliable vehicle than I used to.

I grew up working on the farm and ranch equipment and dad and my grandfather taught me the ropes. They also taught me how to do an oil change, lights, wipers and tire change on the family vehicles. they wanted me to be self-reliant and self-sufficient. Even though I drive very reliable vehicles, I still like to do the basics myself.

I am mechanically challeneged, but my youngest daughter does all my maintenance and mechanic work. She also does any body work that might need done. It's nice having someone so talented in the family.

I do everything I can without facilities. So that has included cam belt changes on a Porsche 944, suspension coil and turret, CV joints, fitting a new wing, oil, fuel, cabin filter changes, fuel pumps, fitting new belts, a head gasket change etc.
But my car is parked on what is little more than a field so - am wary of doing much in the way of brake pipes because I can't keep them clean (hoses are fine). I also had to pay for a clutch and dual-mass flywheel change as - I have 1 trolley jack and some axle stands and that required engine out, a gearbox hoist and the car to be up in the air to be done.
There are few mechanics I really trust, but John at Denford Garage is superb.

lion131: are you good at working on your vehicle?.it could save you a fortune in these harsh economic times!
I can change a flat tire (which I have not done in years..), check the oil and water, for gas my car has an alarm to tell me when I should get it filled (in case I forgot) and for everything else I take it to the shop.
Here it is not that expensive, for a full service: oil change (synthetic), filters, tune up, balance, etcc... is 140 USD but it is done every 7000 km.
I could manually wash the shield though.
