My dad is also a handy guy. So he did most of the work on his cars himself. I often watched over his shoulder and regularly ended up turning a wrench to help him out. I learned a lot.
The biggest lesson I learned from him was not to be afraid to pull something apart and fix it.
So many people I know are terrified of their cars. They don’t even know how to jump start it! Or change a flat tire!
These are simple things! Life skills even.
Car dealers and mechanics help perpetuate this fear. You want to know why? They don’t make a ton of money selling cars…. but they do on maintenance. So of course they are going to say “We highly recommend ONLY a qualified mechanic service your vehicle.”
My goal is to help YOU have the confidence to take care of your own car. You’ll save a few bucks and have fun doing it.
