Nope
Pretty good. I always change my own brake pads and can do rotors and pretty much everything except the ball joints. I've changed a radiator, an idler pulley, serpentines, u joint, starter, and fuel filter. And of course my own oil changes. For the most part I've managed my own repairs over the years without going to a shop. Most stuff isn't that hard to do as long as you're willing to get the tools and do it

Why don't you open your own shop? It sounds like you can get some serious cash.
Eh, I work and go to school right now so I wouldn't have extra time for it. Plus, I don't really have enough saved for it to be worth the risk at the moment and I would need money for a lot more tools too. I could do it on the side every now and then though I guess

You can do it.
Managing a business would be a distraction from my goal to be an engineer tho

Find a way to merge the two.
You're smart. You can figure something out. Maybe make a niche that nobody else has, and there is a hidden demand for it, with no supply.
Average. Basic maintenance such as oil changes, tire rotation, air filter changes, transmission fluids, coolant flush, brake changes, etc I can do. Stuff like changing out the clutch, axles, I need help on.

Honestly, if you can do brakes, you're above average. Ive found most people can barely change a tire. Especially younger people

yeah when I was like 13 we lived on a section of private dirt roads and my mom would let me drive around for practice. I got a flat tire once and she just handed me the tools and told me to figure it out. unless you lack the strength I don't see how anyone is incapable

Yeah I'm pretty shocked when I see grown men who look lost when changing a tire but I've seen it a few times. I think a lot of people just get intimidated and think car repairs are a lot more complicated than they actually are which often is just remove a few bolts
I have been a diesel technician for over 10 years. Master automotive and medium and heavy duty ASE certified. I built my entire car from scratch. So, I guess I know a thing or two.
