I saw a vid on how Jiffy Lube doesn't actually change the oil or the oil filters. I'd do my own oil and all that but my neighbor owns a shop and he does it for free.

 

I do all my own work except for:
- Things covered under a warranty
- Clutches
- tranny tear down (fluids I'll do)
- Fuel system diagnosis
- anything with gears that require pitch/backlash settings (i.e. differential gears)
- A/C work
- Carbs for older cars.
- Oil changes - the mess and hassle of disposing of used oil is more convenient to have someone else do it.
- tire balance/tire replacement/patching

 

well between me and my dad we do just about everything i dont have a problem with jacks and jackstands we have plenty and a decent working space in the garage. I have had oil done and i have done it myself and its like when you do it yourself you just have a pride thing to it. The only thing i didnt do on my car was put on the cat back and i wish i would have done that it was just a busy time for me and i wanted it done.

 

i did my cam shaft synchronizer and sensor, tire rotation, oil change, spark wires and plugs, radiator fluid, brake fluid

 

i'll do everything except tranny internal work and painting, the rest is fair game.

 

i do anything from tire rotation and oil change to twin turbo stroker builds
