DIY

I am considering about reparing minor problems and maintainning regularly my car by myself.
If you go to a dealer, the price is very high. I went a car dealer to repair my car and they replaced a gasket, changed transmission oil, renewed the belt and replaced one brake disk. For this work, I paid $1300. However, when I visited car parts store, I found that the total price of those used car parts is no more then $200. I thought I am giving the money away and desided to learn auto maintainace and repairation. Why we give money away while you could do it yourself. Therefore, take your spare time and learn how to maintain your car.
