Okay, I am the other side of the coin. I do not know how to change a flat tire. Though in an emergency I am sure I could figure it out. But I have insurance and a husband that work in all situations one or the other! I do not know how to fix my car and I don't want to. I am so busy with so much other stuff that is the last thing I want to do. Not to mention I would worry that I would forget to hook something up! I mean sometimes I forget to turn off the oven! Then where would I be. At least if the garage forgets then I can get them for that. For most of our stuff, my husband does it. The major stuff I hire an expert. Doing it yourself is cost effective but working on a vehicle that is driving at speeds of 55 miles per hour or more I want to be sure I had an educated person on it! Now if someone takes the time to learn that is great but I don't think that average person should just start doing it. Even oil changes can be hazardous. I knew someone who once forgot to put back in the plug tightly. Can you guess what happened? But that is just me. I totally admire anyone who can work on their own vehicle.
