How many of your fix and repair your own stuff?
![]() I have tools for everything, even to work on circuit boards. I change my own oil, spark plugs, but I'm letting a friend do my cam job on my Harley. Yesterday I serviced the K&N air filter on my Road King. I'm even making my own handle bars for my Dyna Lowrider. I weld, I turn a wrench, I enjoy doing it. Just wondering who else does?

I do nothing. I could but it bores me. Why do the work when you can pay a greasemonkey to do it.
Edit: Actually I have better things to do. I would prefer to pay others to fix my shit and save me time. |

I have good intentions. I have a coffee mug I've intended to fix for three years now, but haven't yet. I've also intended to put new door knobs on my kitchen cupboard. The knobs are still in their bag, in one of the cupboards. I'm a "one day" putterer, but not a today one.

Depends on what needs fixin'. I have enough tools in the garage to open a small hardware store. Inherited a lot of 'em from my dad when he closed his renovation biz.
Finding the time is the toughest thing. |

For example, I had to wait an hour and a half for an oil change at the dealer today because they were having trouble getting the oil filter off because the last time one of their garage monkeys did it they forgot to lube the threads. The only reason i let them do it is because i get 3 years free service. Then they have the nerve to tell me i only need to bring it in every 16000 km. They didn't like the fact i was getting it done every 5k. As soon as my free oil changes are over ill be doing them myself. If you dont have time i can see why you wouldnt bother. I seem to have nothing but free time after i quit drinking. |

too many people think they can fix stuff and sometimes they can but many times, do it wrong not to mention, unsafe. living in the burbs i see so many people changing their own oil or doing their own brakes changing their own tires in angled driveways with no safety jacks. even with safety jacks doing work in an angled driveway is not a good idea.

Depends on what it is.
I have an old truck and when I first bought it I did what I could to make it better, installing a new grill and bumper, fixing a few things that were broken. I used to do the work on my Mustangs too, complete tune ups, changed spark plugs, etc. But I would hardly call myself an auto mechanic. I no longer do my own oil changes, so oil filters and air filters get done down at Jiffy Lube. I most of the stuff around the house, lots of yard work (no landscaper for me!) and of course anything computer related. These days I do a lot of stuff with bikes - I'm into cycling. Right now I have a Specialized that is a few years old and needs some upgrading so I plan on taking it off the road for a bit and redoing everything with newer components.

Each to their own, I personally love pulling my cars apart, modifying them / fabricating parts etc, nothing like it.

I stopped working on my own cars when I couldn't find the spark plugs anymore.
In the Navy I was an electrician and mechanic, but I try to do as little of that as possible now. I've worked on diesel engines, air brakes and hydraulic systems on garbage trucks. I'm glad I don't get home with grease stains so deep in my fingernails that it stays there for weeks. Happy to sit in front of a computer.

I worked the trades for a lot of years, painting, built fences, decking, even a little roofing way back when. Industrial electronics was my one credit but after college I really did nothing with it. These days as a revenue property owner I have to do the odd thing here or there, but because of my deteriorating back my days of spending hours hunched over a work bench or crawling under a vehicle are long behind me.

I have a shitload of tools and used to do anything and everything I could. Welding, electrical, engine, construction etc.
With how work is going these days I just don't have the time anymore. My personal zen is fishing, when I do get free time I would rather be on the lake than tackling a project. My son until recently had a GMC jimmy, we would work on that together. Now that he got a civic there are no more car problems. I did re-roof my house this last fall and when it was done I realized I am not as young as I used to be.... Sore for a full week, roofing is a young mans game.. My wife wants a new kitchen in 2015 so we will see what happens there.

I change a lightbulb occasionally, tried wiring my new stove simply because I didn't want to wait 2-3 days for an electrician to come, asked GFY for help ... and some 6 months, three burned plugs and several shorts later, I called an electrician to fix it. He charged me $7.

calling myself a hobbyist is an understatement to say the least as I have so many interests kicking around these days. I tend to have a fascination with building things and avoiding short cuts, i'll normally read about 2 or 3 books on any given subject before I start spending money on them.
I have never been into cars at all but I have become a bit of a fanatic about motorcycles in the last few years. I am truly a novice mechanic and still building up my tools for my garage but I love it. I still need to learn more about the electrical side of things but I'm slowly getting there with some of the more simple adjustments.

I grew up having to fix/maintain what I had or just not have it...
I also learned to love the way things worked - "The Gizmo-ness" as Indian Larry put it. ( If you don't know who Indian Larry was ~ GOOGLE). That carried in to my adult life as well... I still Maintain most everything we own... From Motorcycles to Cars and heaters to putting up a fence or building a barn... ![]() |

I have worked doing computer hardware and software repairs for over twenty years so I of course do that myself, but I know almost nothing about cars or other handyman stuff. I do repair my bong myself when it springs a leak though!

do alot of stuff myself when it comes to cars, it's pretty easy and bit of a hobby (when i have the time). Biggest repair was a blown head gasket, you gotta disassemble (and reassemble) half the engine...
Planning on doing a little project this year but time is always the one thing that's missing |

Well I really don't enjoy this, there's always a hundred other things I can do in my free time (and that I will enjoy and am better at alike) plus I am happy to pay for services done right, so no thanks.
