I laughed so hard that I cried. I'll be showing this to my friends at work today. In truth, I can relate to the train of events. I'm female, and I don't try to do anything related to cars or electrical, but I have done other DIY and have definitely gone down the path of - where are the tools, use the wrong tools, bang up your hands, dance around swearing and hurt yourself somewhere else, bandaids, swearing, throwing things, etc. The only difference is that I drink lots of tea, and frequent trips away from the job and to the bathroom is the penalty I pay.

Funny, but:

Oil change for someone who knows that they're doing?

a case of oil: $13, and good for 3 oil changes for the average car

an oil filter: $3

20 minutes to drain the oil, put the new filter on, and let the pan drip out

5 minutes to put the drain plug back in and fill the engine with oil.

total? 25 minutes and $7-10 dollars, depending on what oil you use.


Brake job for a non-mechanic (being politically correct :p ):

Drive car to (insert favorite auto shop here), and pay $200-300 for parts (the rotors are NEVER good enough to keep, thus negating the $59 brake jobs advertised), and a similar amount for labor. Sit in waiting room, drink coffee.
Pay through the nose, drive car home.


For a mechanic:

Jack up front of car, put car on stands

remove calipers

remove rotors, check rotors.

pay $20-30 for pads, and $25-50 each for rotors if needed

replace rotors, replace pads, replace tires, take car for check ride, and have fun doing it, because you HAVE to make a couple panic stops to check the pads! :D

That's more like it! :D

I always pick up a few extra dollars doing it for family members...they are so desperate to get it done they beg me to do it (I'll PAY YOU!!!!).....mainly because it's fast and I won't sell them anything....I did an Ford 150 the other day....with HUGE tires.......


I did have to stop to put all the stuff back under the seat.... :mad: ;)


Rotors?
