A few years ago, a bunch of DIY'ers were asked about how much they save by doing their own repairs. They told researchers they save hundreds or thousands of dollars each year on regular maintenance and car repairs. Not surprising!
Maybe you’ve had this happen to you: a sign is plastered outside your local quick-lube service: "Half off your next oil change!"—a seemingly great deal.
