It's a complete waste of time. Sure I can change my own oil but then I would have to waste my time making sure I have enough containers to hold the oil and then I waste more time bringing the oil to an auto shop rather than just spending $50 for a professional to do it while I do something more worth my time.

No, and I don't have the time, that's why I brought it to you.
>Ahhh geeze, come on its simple to fix, it just takes an entire day!

You know what I did, I said fuck him and took it to another mechanic, and now his shop is closed down because the dumb fuck wanted to be captain impressive about how "AH COME ON DOOD! DONT YOU KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS!"

His whole job is fixing peoples car's, thats like if I went to some pricks job at a company and asked them to manufacture something.

This is plain hatespeech. I work a boring office job

While specialization may be for insects, it's has a lot of advantages here.

You could do it yourself, and fix and issue a couple times, or you can take it to someone that has fixed the issue continuously and over many years. Who is likely to do a better job and who likely already has everything they need to do the job?

nothing is worth it to fix.
its all chepa garbage and its just cheaper to buy new and waste the old stuff.

>>513811395
Not anymore. I say a mechanic ONCE in the last 25 years. It was a mistake. Later I had to redo the work. I have three trucks, a passenger car, 3 motorcycles, 2 tractors, and tons of equipment. I need it fixed fast and cheap and now. I also work an office job to pay for the tools needed to do those repairs quickly like a pro. Not paying others to do this for me has made me wealthier and self sufficient.

Latest project is a non-turbo diesel with no computer, no "limp mode", no particulate filter or regeneration burner or engine piss rot tank. It emits no, as NO, visible smoke. Mechanical injection. Everyone who said in needs more pollution crap is a liar. Diesels just need regular maintenance and oil changes. The only need for a turbo on a diesel is to get enough power at higher altitudes when driving through mountains.

That's what I'm doing. Not a garage, just one of the lifts. $120 for 4 hours.
>>513809991 (OP)
The answer is multi fold:
- Many people lack the space to either store all the tools they'd need (this includes stands and a jack btw) or a place where they can do work. Working on your car on the side of a street or a public garage really fucking sucks.
- A lot of modern tech (from small electronics to engines) is anything from actively hostile to people trying to repair it to simply very very complex. I can do all maintenance and a lot of fixes on my 1999 Miata as a self-taught retard, but would I do anything more complex than say sparkplugs on a modern BMW (for example)? Fuck no! Even those sparkplugs probably need to be registered with the car's ECU or they'll get rejected as "non genuine" or some bullshit like that.
- There's a real lack of mentors and opportunities to learn. People say "just watch youtube lol" and that can work sometimes, but there's no replacement to an old hand (grandpa, uncle, friend) walking you through the different jobs.
- Very often it's just cheaper to throw away and replace something broken than bother to fix it so people just stopped caring.

Just my perspective as someone who wants to the confidence of a self-taught mechanic, but is struggling to get there.

Typically no because the truck is too big to fit in my garage or workshop. In the rain on the driveway for chassis work. Only my smallest car was repaired in dry, temperature controlled comfort. This repair of an obsolete wire harness was necessary because the previous owners were incapable and the Ford mechanic stood behind the service manager and shook his head "no". If they can't hook a computer to it and swap a part for a week of your wages, they are not going to fix your vehicle.

“Personal liberty largely consists of the Right of locomotion — to go where and when one pleases — only so far restrained as the Rights of others may make it necessary for the welfare of all other citizens. The Right of the Citizen to travel upon the public highways and to transport his property thereon, by horse drawn carriage, wagon, or automobile, is not a mere privilege which may be permitted or prohibited at will, but the common Right which he has under his Right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Under this Constitutional guarantee one may, therefore, under normal conditions, travel at his inclination along the public highways or in public places, and while conducting himself in an orderly and decent manner, neither interfering with nor disturbing another’s Rights, he will be protected, not only in his person, but in his safe conduct.”

Wrong it costs me 35 dollars to do my 8 quart of oil truck. Toyota dealership charges around 100 and over torques your filter housing which can cause leaks from over pressurizing the system. It takes longer to wait at the dealership + drive there and back as it does to grab oil when you're at Costco and a filter at wal mart. I don't believe you don't drive passed a place that recycles used oil on at least a weekly basis. I really just fuck with topping off refrigerant, psf changes, oil changes, air/cabin filter changes and throwing seafoam in the oil 500 miles before a change every once in a while and a good detergent cleaner every 5k miles in the gas tank. The tundra is a beast when you take care of it.

Let's say that person actually has the skill and the will to do it.
Young people nowadays don't own cars in the first place, as they're too fucking expensive for a lot of people.
If they do have one, they don't have the place to fix them.
If they have the place, they don't have all of the tools.
If they have the tools, you still can't fix the damn thing because it's likely the fault is in the electronics, which simply died due to planned obsolescence.

Worst part is that outside expensive bigger things like cars, it's often cheaper to buy new things.
I usually fix whatever I can in my home since I like doing stuff like that, but the sad fact is that fixing things isn't really worth it, aside from the good feeling and skill increase you get from it.
Will I repaint the kitchen shelves? Fuck no, you can get a brand new ones for the price of the can of paint.
Should I fix the coffee maker? New one costs only a bit more than the replacement part.
I bought a new bulb for the microwave and the fucking thing was like €14 from Amazon, proper OEM part would have been like triple that.
Microwave cost me €85, so the bulb would have cost about half of the damn thing.
Everything is going the way of printers. It's cheaper to buy a new printer than a new ink cartridge.

>>513809991 (OP)
Depends on the race. Whites have enough money they just throw shit away and buy new things. Brown people tend to be more interested in repair because they're poor and can only get jobs that involve driving around in a blown out Honda Accord so you'll often see them at autowreckers searching for parts to sustain themselves. Blacks are just niggers that can't afford anything so they have nothing that needs to be fixed or it was stolen anyway so they don't care when it breaks.

He saved 1000 euros, which was 1400 before taxes. I think he underestimates the savings too. I also think the head job was cheap for him because they look at a guy who pulls his own head as one of their own. Nice milling, totally clean, valves set in place.

Just did a bunch of shit like wheel bearings and brakes on a ford ranger for a family member, the worst part is the cost of parts. I used to be able to do shit on the cheap but anymore brakes are 500 minimum if it needs rotors. I used to build project cars and shit but now I’m the guy with all the cars, never drives any and let’s them sit all over his yard, good shit too, like two 67/69 firebirds, a dozen 67-72 chevs, a Buick Grand national, monte SS.

Every thread we tell you, op

Nothing is worth fixing anymore, it's all cheap throw away shit. And most of it is designed to be completely unrepairable. For example having to mail a bmw abs pump off to eBay because it's computer controlled with security and replacement parts literally do not exist. Or a cvt transmission that is literally unserviceable by anyone and self destructs at 80,000 miles by design

The cost of having a lawnmower engine bored out is more than a new lawnmower.

>>513813783
Once you are up to speed and you don't have to hear that whirr for mile after mile. You don't miss the turbo. I have a 1993 as a daily driver with a 7.3 International and only 200 HP, and a lot fewer parts and headaches. the turbo version of this engine is 210HP. Why bother? Wife truck - twin turbos, both leaking from the seals at 100,000 miles - to repair them is a two day job plus parts.

>>513814858
It wasn't a criticism. I'm just pointing out opportunity cost. Some dudes (who can afford it, of course) would rather spend the time on something else and give the work to a shop. Neither is a defacto "worse" option.
>they look at a guy who pulls his own head as one of their own
Maybe. In my experience majority of independent mechanics don't give a fuck. You're just a customer and it's just a job. But I am sure exceptions happen. My understanding here is limited, but 60 euro (70 bux) feels more like what a buddy would charge for consumables as a way to repay me for all the booze and food I'd bring to his place when we hang out.

That's on you, idiot. When I see my mechanic who I pay in cash, I don't even pay tax.
>over torques your filter housing which can cause leaks from over pressurizing the system
Complete and utter bullshit. But don't worry, I had a dealership mechanic try and explain to me that the ABS system counts the balls going by in a ball bearing when I was there to buy a new wheel speed magnetic ring. He even cussed me out when I told him to keep his bullshit away from me. People sometimes believe in bullshit, it happens.
>It takes longer to wait at the dealership + drive there and back as it does to grab oil when you're at Costco and a filter at wal mart.
They do mine in 15 minutes even if I don't arrange a slot in advance, can't even really sit down before they're done.
>I don't believe you don't drive passed a place that recycles used oil on at least a weekly basis

>>513809991 (OP)
Depends on the shit needing fixing. Electronics are very difficult to fix nowadays. Laptops, tablets, and phones are often glued and have to be pried apart with little pieces of plastic breaking off in the process. There are delicate little ribbon cables that can be ripped off their connector even if you’re careful. When you put these back together they flex and will never feel like they did new. Even if you take an iPhone to an Apple Store to get a battery replaced you have this problem or they put the wrong length screws back into the wrong holes. They’re assembled partially by machines and precision instruments, they’re not meant to be disassembled anymore. Cars you can still fix at least but people are no longer interested in fixing them

I don't like the new vehicles, which have way too many individual computers for everything. After I bought my used Xterra, it had a problem where the computer wouldn't work in cold weather. You can't just swap out the ECU because it has a code matched up with your key. I just unsoldered the old eprom chip from the old ECU into the replacement one, and she fired right up. Of course, I use to do electronics repair for a living, and the average guy isn't going to pull that little trick off.

Unless it is old, it is not meant to be fixable, only replaceable. Everything is made of cheap shit parts and over-complicated digital integration, and companies try to keep you from having access to those parts, the necessary knowledge, or even the tools to fix it. I think it started with smart phones, or at least became mainstream to prevent repairs as much as possible.

Lack of skill combined with more and more things being made to be unfixable or not worth the cost of fixing. Ever tried to fix an appliance with a bad control panel? Buying the parts costs almost as much as just buying a new one. And you can't get a repair guy in the door and have them do the repair for less than buying a new one. With cars, half the shit that goes wrong are sensors and electronics you can't fix or replace without specialized knowledge and tools. It's just not worth it most of the time now unfortunately.

>>513816609
Arent there like specialized ecu’s that only feed the standard data? What racecars have

>>513816909
With the cheap cost of these Chinese tire changing machines, I'm surprised more people aren't changing their own tires now too. I did mine just a few days ago, although I used a bubble balancer because I have no room for the dynamic digital balancer machine. I guess I have a tool for just about everything now.

>>513818049
Yeah, it looks like some sort of balancing shaft that also serves to move oil around for lubrication of the valve lifters. The GM 3800 engine was one of the best engines GM ever made. I really just bought that old Buick for the engine; plus, the car rides like a couch going down the road. An old buick isn't going to impress anyone though, and I ain't looking to pick up any old ladies. lol

>>513818049
that's a Buick 3800 isn't it?

>>513810542
What are you doing to that tranny? I had my 3/4 clutch plates burn out which is a common problem in 4l60e transmissions. I really wanted to fix it myself but opted for a transmission shop instead. The parts kit would have been at least $1500 plus some specialty tools (which you don't technically need) and a tranny jack would have been another $500-1000 with the high risk of doing something wrong like not putting it back together correctly as a first timer. I felt like I wasn't really saving enough money to justify doing it myself and a 3 year unlimited mile warranty pretty much sealed the deal. Still, it probably would have been a good learning experience. However, I do all the work on my motorcycles though and just replaced the door lock actuators and third brake light on my truck. I fix a bunch of stuff around my house too.

Yep, and it only has 83k miles on it. I basically bullet proofed it for another 100k. New water pump, new belt, replaced those plastic coolant elbows with aluminum ones. The lower intake gaskets it comes with were made out of plastic, and I replaced it with a metal one, then put on a new plenum intake. new plugs too.

I not a mechanic either but I'm mechanically inclined. I literally just watch a couple of youtube videos. lol

Money saved is money earned. Of course tools cost a bunch but you only have to buy them once, and they are there for the next project. Everything in life is about having your priorities right. First you have to have the space to fix things, and if you don't have that, then it's not within your grasp to try it. Don't reach farther than you can grasp.

I'm my own best customer. People will use you if you let them. Poor people have no money so they trade in favors. They will help you with a little things, like moving a bit of furniture that takes only a few minutes, and then expect you to rebuild their entire car. Always pay people when they help you so that can hold shit over your head.

All products are disposable, unrepairable junk now
Engineered to be like that

In many cases it is actually more expensive to make a product that breaks easier or is harder to repair, but it is more profit in the long run

For example, while matetial costs are not very significant, getting certain pieces within dimensional tolerances (thinner) that guarantee failure by fatigue right after the warranty expires can be quite tricky

Don't be abusing horsies, i'll shoot your dick off with rock salt

>>513809991 (OP)
The startup cost for fixing your own shit is prohibitive. Harbor Freight makes it a lot better than it used to be, but it's still bad.
If you want to change your own oil, the bare minimum you need is
>Floor jack
>Jack stands
>Catch pan
>Ratchet & sockets or a wrench
Even if you're cheaping the fuck out, your first oil change costs several times what a shop would charge you. To do any real repairs is going to cost you more in other specialty tools like torque wrenches, bespoke sockets, trim removal tools, screw drivers, etc.
You also need a place to work. If you're a city slicker street parking is bad place to start. If you live in apartment or an HOA their lot or your driveway may be off limits due to policy.

>>513820693
Which is a massive pain for your average person. You're now paying 2x for insurance even if one sits in your garage most of the time. If you live in an apartment that might not be possible, since there is normally limited parking, and you'll have to pay for an extra spot.

The idea is to make your money in the city, and get out as soon as you can afford it. Then you buy a place in a rural area, where you can also survive economically because you've got that shit figured out, and then you have room to buy all those lovely tools and toys. Used cars only need liability coverage.

>>513815210
If you're gonna go so far as to consider the opportunity cost, you must also consider the value of the experience and new skills you gain. Time spent learning something valuable has a better return than time spent behind a counter earning minimum wage.

It does feel like all the stuff I learn about cars I only end up using once, but maybe that's because I only have two and don't drive that much so waiting another 40k miles for e.g. a sparkplug change on my Mazda CX-5 is gonna take a while.

leasing is a form of corporate subsidy, and is never worth it unless you are a business that has money to burn by decreasing profits on purpose.

>>513821853
I still would do that before I bought some engineered to fail, peace of crap that they are passing off as a car, these days. Just taking an uber or robo taxi would also be an option. I use to live within biking distance of where I worked, so in that case an electric bike would be a great idea too.

>>513816642
I haven't seen 90% of those, anything I ever took apart used phillips, slotted, torx, and maybe once secure torx.

granted I only ever repaired entertainment electronics but damn it felt great to have had a 1984 junk CD player make sound again (it had an absurdly good transport, can play even broken discs, was well worth fixing).

>>513822066
Payments are lower than purchasing a vehicle because you are only paying for the vehicle's expected depreciation. At the end of the lease you have the option of buying it out which can be a great deal if the residual value ends up higher than what the manufacturer projected. It's a perfectly fine option if you know what you are getting into. The real key is always negotiating down the vehicle's price.

But of course the only chads are ones who buy cars for cash outright. I'm sure all of us are capable of doing that, right anon?

>>513810270
Dude, is this a picnic or are you working on your car? Get that shit out of here.

>>513822355
Oh you will take the hit if you buy a new car, just as soon as the warranty is up, and sometimes before that when the trans goes out. Especially lease if you are going to buy a luxury car, as the maintenance on that, with its propitiatory technology, will not make it worth buying.

>>513822586
>I've seen/used 14 of those bfore. I have a drive set that has most of those some of which come in different sizes.

Yeah, I have a set as well, actually I have two sets. The screwdriver had some stupid plastic screw-on top and broke to shit, and the only way I could keep using the bits was to get a whole new set with a better screwdriver.

Also, this is why I own an old buick lesabre. The engine is reliable, and the parts are cheap. If you are trying to impress people, just lease the damn thing.

(I don't have a license)
How fucked am I /pol/?

>shop class
i fucking hated that shit

>>513826529
Ohh. Painting the winter is a bitch.

When my mower breaks, i gotta slap it back together quick so the grass get out of control. I never even painted the spot after my little welding fix. Gotta get to that. Yard machines in general are a joy to work on. Theyre so Simplified.. air filter, oil filter, fuel filter, spark plug. belts etc.. Thats pretty much all that shit ever needs..

Yea, I quite enjoy wrenching on stuff. Its relaxing. Sometimes its frustrating but I the end i ways spent less money.

>>513826969
Pretty fucked consider that's a riding lawnmower and not a car anon.
>also a lawnmower, with a helicopter engine

>>513826500
a real nanny state

>>513827401
You guys should be allowed to fix stuff. Thats sounds like the UK.

>>513825892
What the hell is the justification for such a law?

>>513826988
This. It was gay af. We couldn't even use electric saws. Coping saws and vise grips only lol. Made gay shit out of wood like little cars that go vroom vroom with c02 cartridges shoved up their asses. I'm surprised coach allowed me to make a big ass sling shot. Vo-tech is where it's had. Taught me hydraulics, fluid dynamics, soldering motherboards, etching machines that made cool ass signs, pretty much every industrial tool except 3D printers which weren't a thing back in my day

Literally just take it to a tuner, dumbass.

>>513815642
That'll run a long time for you.

>>513810270
Nice bricks.

>>513828007
nanny state and control
the excuse is to make sure cars on the road are actually safe so everything must be done by licensed garages by licensed mechanics and documented

who cares that in the end it's just some inbred arab that most often than not does these repairs

>>513809991 (OP)
Replaced instrument panel with AI code + esp32, 3d printed case and a bluetooth OBD2 adapter. I am surprised it all worked.

>>513827189
That has to be one of those guys into lawn mower racing.

Shut the fuck up, boomer

>>513829181
Hope so. I just got the car back on the road, and she is doing good. No more coolant leaks.

contact the wastewater treatment plant and ask if they have a household hazardous waste program

>>513830524
Nope. Couple boomers at the Rolls Royce heritage center with too much time on their hands.

I replaced my spark plugs, wires and cable box the other week

>>513830926
Most land fills have a tank that you can pour old oil into. I'm saving my old oil to burn in a diesel generator.

>>513815227
Yea you need a place to dispose of oil if you do your own oil changes. In USA its easy for me to dump it at advance autoparts. They readily accept used oil. Other parts stores seem to be more stingy about it.

You should just going in for oil changes if thats easiest for you. Its not that much more expesive than diy.

>>513810270
are you doing that clutch job son?

>>513810542
>calls op gay
>has automatic tranny

>>513830159
I got a chink one that I can't get to fixing work
It's obd2 to us , wired
But it just won't fucking connect. I'm using Linux and have tried minicom and a couple others. One time it said something but but must of the tube is does nothing

Also it might have fucked up my abs system because now our doesn't work

>>513809991 (OP)
Fixing your own shit doesn't count if you have to take pictures of it like a woman to show people that you don't even know on the internet. How about fixing your gay life?

>>513832505
At least we can fix stuff

>>513832569
It's not hard. All you need is tools and youtube nowadays. If I can do it, anyone can.

>>513832505
Taking pictures is to help you remember how to put all that shit back together. Showing people your work is just a nice side effect of that.

>>513832757
It's still gay and unseemly feminine behaviour. And mechanics knew how to put shit back together before they had cameras. If you don't know where shit goes then you should obviously just take it to a mechanic who does.

>>513832908
No, taking a picture of half you face in the way is feminine, and I don't need a mechanic if you go back and look at all that other shit I posted. I'm the best mechanic I know, and trust.

>>513820836
you can buy every tool you would ever need to fix your car for under $3,000 from harbor freight. $120+ per hour labor adds up pretty quick. also mechanics always mess your car up and try to hide it. go look under your car at the pinch welds

>obd2 to us , wired
Obd2 to USB

It looks like this, I got it for $3 USD off the Chinese on eBay and when I told them I couldnt get it to actually connect they just gave me my money back but I told them I don't want a refund I just went it to connect and they wouldn't stop demanding I just take the money. I told them if I get off working I'll send the money back to them and they said not to

>>513833070
Get your self a nice big garage, and I bet you don't stop at just 3k. I'm probably up to at lest 20k in tools, some of them I made myself. Here is a furnace I made to melt aluminum.

>>513832908
Sure Australia bro.. you just fix shit. We get it. Thats really effeminate. Also, your president is a women amd youre not allowed to own a gun.

>>513832505
There's nothing wrong with taking pics.
It's a great practice in case something goes wrong.
It's also required in some instances like the DMV (government car registry) will require step by step documentation of you building a trailer or car.

>>513833354
Nice

>>513832505
women would be showing their tits with the car stuff being in the background though

This is the most organic thread on /pol right now. These are fun. Its nice knowing its not all bots sometimes. It seems these are few and far between.

>>513832757
nice 3800. did you do the lower intake manifold gasket?

>>513832757
What car is that? 3800, but I think my fuel shredder valve is a different spot
Watch out, there's a missed recall on those fuel pressure regulator and it'll dump so much gas the upper intake literally explods and will catch the ship on fire

>>513833366
Why have guns if you're gonna let niggers run feral and slaughter white women and children? What good are all those guns if you're gonna let millions of invaders just walk into your country and demand shit? You've been proven to be cowards. You're infinitely more likely to blow your own brains out than kill a criminal or an illegal immigrant.

>>513833659
Not him but niggers can't aim guns, so it gives us the upper hand.
Also I'm unvexxed bec we were all threatening to shoot the military for floor to door forced injections
>Hurr what's the point
2a and the entire constitution only applied to white people. Browns aren't even supposed to be in this country

Explain your attitude, since we now have niggers we should just guy the constitution and ban guns globally?

>>513833503
I've made a lot of things over the years. I made this utility trailer out of scrap metal. Some people were scraping some old house trailers, and I gave them $100 dollars for the metal, and then cut it all up, took it home, and made a utility trailer out of it.

>>513833566
Yeah, and I replaced the upper intake too.

>>513833236
I had a chinese obd adaptor shit out on me today. Its not the elm like in your pic but connects in between the cars port and the elm. Checked it for continuity and all but 1 of the pins are dead.It connected one time and self destructed.

>>513833653
Well, it's long been paid for. I'll take my chances.

>>513833964
Damn, nice score
I was hoarding metal and ring productive with it until the city started bitching so I stopped, told them to eat shit, and an waiting for them to fine stay the shooting.
Not a joke. No point in finishing of you're gonna die

Are you on /diy/?
This thread about to archive

>>513834076
The recall was in 98 iirc
Check the paperwork to see if a previous owner did it. A new fuel pressure regulator is cheaper than the damage or can cause. Mines been parked for a decade now and I still haven't tore into it to assess.

>>513827189
i-i really want that.

>>513834029
Hope it didn't fry your car.
So like just the cable went bad?
That thing I posted is an obd2 connector with the Elm (fake clone) hooked up to the other end right inside of it.
Idk what happened but now y antilock brakes didn't work and it's triggered the abs and check engine light. Might be unrelated though

Threads about to archive someone make a new one

>>513833964
Yes, I'm very messy when I work. I think the trailer turned out pretty good though. It's built like a tank.

>>513834147
Naw, I've looked a the /diy forum but I'm more of a news junkie. I might check it out more in the future. I'm interested in all kinds of things. Autistic polymath kind of guy.

My Buick is 2005 lesabre so I'm sure it's okay.
