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!
