Car maintenance is pretty simple. I spent a fortune on mechanics for stuff I could have easily handled myself. It took me until I was 35 to figure that out.
I wish someone had told me to learn how to fix my car earlier. Once I learned how to put on new brakes and change the oil, I knew how much I had been wasting. Some things you learn late, but hey at least I learned them.
I can relate to that! Learning how to do brakes and fluid changes earlier would have saved me a ton of cash and having basic mechanical skills helps with everything else you fix in life
