LOL! Nobody would buy them. :) Thank you, Richard, for all your support, kind and encouraging words and for taking the time to write them. I hope you know that it's much appreciated by Sister and me. ;)
Yes, absolutely! It's the ONLY way to know for sure that it is done correctly. I have known too many people who ended up with problems. If you MUST have it done go to a certified mechanic that you can TRUST!!!
Yes, Andre, without a doubt--DIY your house and your vehicle! Never let someone else fix or touch your vehicle or house if you can do it yourself. If you can't, I hope you learn how to. Most folks are plenty bright and have the knowledge to do a good and honorable job, but they are allergic to hard work, tend toward mediocrity, oversell you, scam you and don't care about their work product or the results. I only hire out if I absolutely have to. I know that I use better quality materials and do a better work. Even if I don't know how to fix something, I learn how to. There's nothing like the feeling of satisfaction that comes from fixing something yourself. FYI--The estimates from contractors to re-roof my house were $25,000 to $27,000 before "tear off," which means the actual costs would have been about $30,000 if I had a contractor do it. My sister and I re-roofed my house ourselves, and it cost me $6,200 in materials, including new seamless gutters. I hope that illustrates how much of your hard-earned money you keep when you DIY and can retire early on. ;)
I used to change oil myself, however, the pricing and quality of service at Walmart is so good that I can no longer justify the time, mess and some safety risk of climbing under my car to do it myself.
Excellent video!
Precise, Concise, Organized and filmed like a DIY Channel on TV.
You should make teaching video's for sale!!!

Fantastic video. Love your work!
Thank you, Victoria. I appreciate that--truly. ;)
Hi there. I'm frustrated. My 2000 Toyota Camry XLE 2.2 is still cutting out.
Is DIY worthwhile? Walmart Auto has low prices for changing oil.
