>doing your own work on your car
spending money to bust your knuckles, get a headache, mess things up because you did it wrong, make multiple trips to parts stores, get wrong parts, not have warrantied work, and generally having things be more difficult than they should be because you dont have the right tools.

>spending money to use penetrant or a longer wrench, do things right because you did it correctly, ordering parts online, get correct parts because you know your car, not needing warrantied work, and generally having the satisfaction of properly completing a difficult job with the correct tools.
It's like you want to save money, learn a skill and have a hobby. Poor saps.

I don't know about you, but I am pretty reliant on my car, and due to my work I very rarely have an opportunity to leave it at a garage.
Doing stuff myself makes my life a whole lot easier, as I can just perform the service & maintenance in the afternoon. It also saves me a lot of money (mostly on standard service and such), I learn a lot from it, and although I do have to buy a lot of expensive tools I feel like it is worth it. I'll most likely be doing this for several decades, and I see it as nothing but a healthy investment to be able to do pretty much everything myself. I even enjoy doing the simplest of stuff like brake changes & switching out tires
Sure, sometimes you fuck it up a little bit, and sometimes you wish you had taken it to the professionals at once, but thats life

Depends on the job, and what your time is worth.
Although if you own a new(ish) car which is still under warranty and work on it yourself, I can't help but feel your priorities are a bit fucked.
Also

As an actual mechanic this makes me tremendously concerned because most people are morons

Its not all that organized, but thats what you get when the tools have been gathered since my dad was 15 nearly 45 years ago, so nothing really matches.
Only recently put up the shelves you see around the garage, which helped a fuckton

I dream of one day building my own garage, where everything will match and be perfectly organized
>>
>>15177168
at least I still have a pair of balls

>>15178249
I would too. But that requires more money than I have.
>>
>>15178337
I might be able to... I'll be taking over my grandparents house & property when the time comes for a very nice price, buying out my aunt, uncle and dad. I'm good at saving, and if everything goes according to plan I'll be able to get a decent paying job
A man can dream... I mean, I'm not all that picky either. All I'll really demand is a heated garage with a nice workbench, two/four post lift and the basic tools. I'll build it bigger and better as I go along

>tfw parts runner for dealership express team
No schooling, no tools of my own, but I have access to a dealerships worth of tools, and one of the team used to be a line tech for the same brand as my car
I can do literally anything I need myself, with a professional tech looking over my shoulder the whole time. Gonna do injector o-rings and an intake manifold gasket later this week.
Feels fucking good bro, I don't even get mad when my shit stops working right anymore. Drop 60 at my dealership for the diag, grab parts there and do the rest myself at my job. I'm fucking spoiled.

How it normally looks.
t. DR30's two cars

>>15178516
200? Really? How much would I expect to pay for one with a lift?
>>
>>15178516
Damn that's expensive!
But I guess if you're using it then it would be worth it

Better than going to an autoshop and having some high school aged faggot nigger rig something in your car.

If you think a warranty means shit on auto repairs then I have bad news...

That would be sweet if you could live there. Just buy one of those RV campers, and live inside. $200/a month would be a steal for a place if you could sleep there.
My room is tiny as fuck, and I'm not picky. I just need a place to lay my head and shower.
>>
>>15178630
No idea. Check your local Craigslist.
>>15178658
Despite my trip, the shop sure beats working in the yard. The person who was renting it before was paying the same amount and was only using it for storage.
>>15179894
The electrical service is piggybacked off another building owned by the landlord, so the whole shop runs on a 15A service. Not sure it'd be enough to run an RV.
My house is only $300/mo for the mortgage.
