    Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -
    Together we stand
    Divided we fall.

    I laugh, therefore? I am.

    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 ):

    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!

    That's more like it!

    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....


    Rotors?

    I don't do helicopters!
