I do everything possible myself. I've told my wife 100 times... I can buy the parts, buy the tools if I don't have them, and screw the job up once and do it again, cheaper and with less frustration than bringing it to the dealership.
so true, the cost of all my tools has been paid for 10 times over. my wife NEVER complains about using our savings for an expensive tool purchase, because she remembers being single and paying $400 at the dealer for "complete waste of money scheduled maintenance". plus, i get awesome tools
dealers make so much money off the scheduled maintenance crap. the timelines are ridiculous, but it's all about getting the vehicle in to make money and then find something else "wrong" to take more of your money.
i'll never forget the time the tire place told my wife they would do her a favor and replace a worn out engine anti-vibration mount with no labor charge. $180, such a deal right? she texted me, i looked up the part on rockauto and it was $25 shipped and took 5 minutes to install. rip off much?
and oh yeah, they definitely take advantage of women which really ****** me off.
