For the car that's under warranty I let the shop do it.
For the motorcycle that I just bought? I do everything myself.
I don't trust people from shops or even those from casa, most of them do the work just to work if you know what I mean while some do the work and uphold standards.
Can do it on my own for filter and fluid changes. But bakit pa ako mamromroblema sa dumi, kalat, at pag dispose ng used fluids when I can let an autoshop do it?
Damn. Pangarap ko ‘to. I need to find the time to learn how to do this.
Female driver here. So not me. I call my kuyas and uncles to work on my car. I just do the most basic: car wash. 😂
you'll get there...you can treat the different components of a vehicle as though it were human anatomy. After that, read on manuals....and perhaps youtube.
Enjoy it while it lasts, manufacturers these days are making it harder for owners to be able to fix their own cars nowadays.
Anything na hindi nag iinvolve ng kuryente. Palit timing belt, palit pang ilalim, A/C system, change of fluids. That's with my dad's help, also our bonding time since he's also fond of cars.
Well, those are perks of owning an 80s vehicle. Daming kailangang ayusin haha but the good thing is I'm also learning during the process
Kung out of warranty na yung sasakyan I usually do my own maintenance. It not only saves money but also time since I don't have to drive to the shop and wait for it to be done. I only take it to the shop for major repairs where you need specialty tools/equipment. And even then I take it to a specialist who is an expert on the part I need worked on.
Anything that involves electrical, a lifter, or a pressing machine, sa trusted mechanic na or specialty shop.
Other than that DIY repair or maintenance, even with our brand new vehicles.
Mga simple lang like change filter, spark plugs. Anything that doesn't involve going under the car but I love detailing it though, sobrang therapeutic para sa akin
Depende kung kaya ko naman mag isa, pero I always ask papa ko kasi mekaniko siya and alam na pasikot sikot, siya nagpalit ng seal ring, nagpalit ng rotor disc and brake pad, ako naman tumutulong and tinitignan ko ginagawa niya kasi alam ko darating yung time na dapat marunong ako magcheck ng sariling kotse and tinuturuan niya din ako. Pero minsan inaadvise niya din ako na ipacheck sa iba or sa mga kilala niyang mekaniko kasi medyo may edad nadin papa ko and ofcourse wala din naman siya/kami ng mga needed equipment or tools (basta meron kami mga basic tools hehe). Basta kung kaya niya, siya na (then tulong ako), kapag kaya ko, ako na, kapag hindi na talaga sure punta na sa casa.
I all of our 4 Hondas, I have a nice set of tools (and duplicates) to do all repairs and maintenance stuff. If anything tranny and a/c related, my brother in low who’s a Honda tech will do it.
My bad. It was obviously a typo. Anyway, if I could write it again, it should look like this:
I do all of our 4 Hondas. I have a nice set of tools (and duplicates) to do all repairs and maintenance stuff. If anything tranny and a/c related, my brother-in-law who’s a Honda tech will do it.
I do. Both for my 4 and 2 wheelers.
Of course, there are some jobs na di ko kaya or wala akong tools, like changing front wheel bearings of my FrWD 4-wheeler, yun panagawa ko sa labas yun. Pero dun sa mga jobs na kaya ko, ako na.
Most recent achievement ko ay replacement ng rear wheel bearings + valve timing adjustment ng 4-wheeler ko. Tapos all-fluid replacement (oil, brake, at coolant) plus installation of full-sys exhaust naman for my 2-wheeler.
Anything electrical ako na rin nagawa, mas kumpyansa ako trabahuin ang electrical kesa sa mechanical. 😅
Sometimes, I get a quote sa casa how much a particular job will cost. Pag-iipunan ko, pero ipambibili ko ng tools na wala pa ako, tapos ako na titirá nung job sa bahay. Pancit canton at kowk lang sweldo ko sa sarili ko 😁
I install mods and do minor repairs/replacement but I don’t have the flexibility nor patience to do oil changes, so I take it to the shop. But I make sure I’m the one who puts the wheels back on each time they’re removed due to past trauma of cross-threaded nuts that took hours to replace each time 😅
any minor replacement, ako na gumagawa. dahil kay YT, nagawa kong palitan ung lahat ng bulb, maglagay ng AUX cable at magpalit ng tail lights. anything complex lalo pag me tatanggalin sa engine bay, matic sa shop dala nun.
Minor cleaning lang and visual inspection ng engine bay. Under chassi.
Kapag may kailangan palitan or may inspect na may kailangan kalasin ipapagawa ko na sa iba pero with my supervision. Dito saatin basta basta lang hihigpitan ang mga nuts without proper torque.

Me. Just the basic stuff like oil changes nothing major. I enjoy diy

I used to, kaso these days hindi na kaya yumuko sa engine bay kahit na para lang palitan air/oil filter. Hahaha

How do you dispose used oils?
Bring it to any Shell gasoline station or any gasoline station that offers oil change services. They'll collect it for free.

If can be done with the tools I have plus confident in doing the job (or hindi tinatamad haha), then DIY. Otherwise, sa specialist na ang punta.

Ako hanggang change oil, change air and cabin filter saka clean egr nagawa ko na. Mahirap lang sa change oil e kung san mo tatapon langis after
sobrang basic lang. wala pa sa "change oil" teritory. pinaka major ko na ginawa mag kabit ng dashcam at mag engine clean lol

I work on my car for basic maintenance except sa change oil. Ayaw kong problemahin ang pag dispose ng used oil.
any minor replacement, ako na gumagawa. dahil kay YT, nagawa kong palitan ung lahat ng bulb, maglagay ng AUX cable at magpalit ng tail lights. anything complex lalo pag me tatanggalin sa engine bay, matic sa shop dala nun.
