HAHAHA

I have to admit I do the same as you guys as well. It's called a keen eye, a shop manual, and a few beers.

but yeah, I do my own work too. like last week, I saved about five bills on my dads VW just by rebuilding parts myself. ie. his wiper linkage seized up on his 2000 Golf. So I beat the bushing out and cleaned it up lubed it and tossed it back in. works perfectly. saved about $150. then his alarm and isht wasn't working, so I re-soldered some connections - saved another $230. all it really cost me was a specialty 8 mm triple square bit (like a 12 point torx), which cost me $30 and almost 3 hours of searching for a place that carried it.

Like majority here. Do it myself. Alignments I've gone to Fast N Tire and Honda. Anything else I can't do I recommend Rick @ RT Motorsport.

i just bring it to my mechanic... he'll dispose them for me...haha...

its always good/better to know an honest mechanic and being close with him... not necessary for the free work, but you can work in his garage and dispose stuff at his garage too! haha

I was just joking around man...I actually do have a digi guage. I got to shops fo anything I can't do myself or something technical that I am worried about ruining. My car is a daily driver, so I can't afford much downtime for installation.
