I do everything. Actually, I carelessly voted. I had it aligned and had tires mounted in a shop recently. So I don't do everything.

i think that is definately out of warranty.

my uncle is my mechanic, which has been rather detrimental to my knowledge of how a car works and how to fix it, anything that went wrong on it all i have to do is make it to his shop and it'll be fixed :), also a benifit when buying used, he checks the car over and i dont get any lemons, as the milage on my corolla shows

pretty sure it's out of warrantee.

I do most of the work myself unless I don't have the tool for the job (engine hoist, alignment rack, and tire machine for example.)

I don't have a tire mounter or balancer, nor the patience to do string alignments.. so it goes to the shop for alignments and wheels and tires get taken to the shop.

Otherwise, this should answer the question:

Pulling the motor of one 97 ITR for a 150k refresh (seals, gaskets, all hoses, timing belt, water pump, clutch, etc - preventative maintenance for the anal...) and doing a timing belt on the other 97 ITR, although it was done already when that was taken.

Dude, I want your garage! :thumbsup:

Dave-ROR 09-19-2011 11:19 AM

Not mine, it's a friends garage, I just use it to work on his and my own vehicles. I'm thankful to be able to use it, just the air conditioning part is awesome in florida :) Everything besides the lift and AC I have in my garage.

ichitaka05 09-19-2011 02:06 PM

Have a lift in garage is a auto fan dream garage!!!

I assume that fridge is stocked with beer and little else?

Marrk 09-19-2011 02:38 PM

I voted everything and anything, but I really only do maintenance. I can't do big stuff (clutch, transmission) and I let specialists do specialist jobs (alignment, wheel balancing).

That said, I hate anyone touching my car. I don't even valet park.*









*You might think I owned a Bentley or something. :bellyroll:

So far out of warranty and running out of OEM available parts.

I do everything but the alignment.
