I do know how to fix cars. And if I have the time I will. And I have a friend who owns a shop in Pasadena, so he's always a phone call away if I need help. Hes my cousin so that helps. Plus I use his tools to do all my work.
I grew up in a mechanic show with my cousins and uncle. They taught females in family how to work on cars, etc. Best thing I was ever taught. Saves me thousands a year.

Maybe your phone is set on another language.....because they are suggesting you don't know wtf you're talking about.

racket = rack
tire rods = tie rods
routers = rotors
mechanic show =

Fixing your car is one of the few things left you can do yourself, and one of the few things you can really save thousands of dollars per year. I just saved about 2k doing this recent parts install. And it is not that hard if you have assembled the needed tools. It is actually fun, but I wouldn't want to work on other people's cars for a living, that can be very hard work. Go home exhausted and fall into bed after a cold one.

I like to work on my car at my own pace, not hurry when doing it. If you get stuck, then no problem, go away and come back later. Especially when you run into an unexpected problem or stuck bolt. It's useful if you can plan not to need your car soon.

The thing this time is the security guard is so obnoxious. He is new, and tries to run the place. he bothers the residents more than he watches out for security. It is almost like living in a prison camp with a prison guard (at least that is what it feels like).

I get along well with most everybody, and have managed to keep my mouth shut so far. I just told him nobody cares, but I wanted to say a lot more.

I rather put the money savings turning tools into hobby fund so I can use my fun tool.

Alexis sounds like she knows more about cars than 99.9% of >30 yr olds in this country. Seeing a "man" on the side of the getting a tire changed by a tow truck driver/cop makes my blood pressure go up.

Agreed! Alexis may need a slight alignment adjustment with her spelling and nomenclature of automobile parts, but I'm impressed with her willingness to get her nails covered lithium base luberciants. She clearly knows more about vehicles than most females, and good for her she had teachers. Furthermore a skilled woman like herself, perhaps would apply her knowledge to proper adjust the wet torque value while working on stick shifts. That is always important when concerned about blowing a rod under high pressures and heat stress. I may need to try her out on my next pit stop, just to see her displacement under the hood inspecting crankshaft for end play, and checking her ring and pinion backlash and shim it up for hard launches. I'll bring the posi track 80w90 gl5 gear oil to ease things along and reduce friction. Of course the go jo with citrus for the clean up. Now that would be a good review to read about.

Some of that might be due to many new cars not having a spare and jack. The car mfrs seem to thinck the 70 lbs at spare and jack weigh will significantly reduce the mpg of the car.

They might say that but in reality they like the additional profit they make only supplying a can of fix a flat and a mini air compressor vs a spare tire and jack.

That fix a flat works wonderful too on the side of a deserted road at night....not.

I've been telling people for years to invest in run flats. Those things have saved my ass countless times.

Finished up this morning. Again started at 5 am to avoid the security guard, but it is getting so hot, it's good to start early. According to the car repair guides, I saved about 2k, and the car should be in good shape until the next time 3 or 4 years from now. Well worth it, and nice to have all the tools, collected over several years.

I saw 4 young brothas sitting in a truck today while a tow truck driver changed the flat tire. I don't know about you, but I'm sure older Chevrolet trucks came with a spare.
