Im actually serious. May be a few years til I get to it but I eventually will.

Make sure you also save up for a full assortment of specialized tools, a hydraulic lift, an air compressor, etc depending on your make and model, how old your vehicle is and what you can expect to be doing.

I try to do as many of my own repairs as possible but there's some shit you just can't do properly without the right environment and equipment, even with the right know how. At that point, it's worth just paying somebody else to save you the headache

This is a good post.

Yes mechanics are expensive, its because they have a skill and offer a service that often you could not do yourself.

Some things are very easy to do yourself, like change brake pads or repair bumpers and doesnt require a lot of tools.

Then theres things that youre in way over your head and you would need a mechanic like rebuilding your cars transmission, or rather if you could do it yourself, paying the money saves you a few hours of work and a lot of headache.
