I’m with you, but keep in mind that some people live in apartments, so no garage to work in, or a driveway, and also they have nowhere to store any tools they buy.

And the initial investment is something, right? Get a decent jack, get a drain pan, learn how to dispose of the used oil, buy the wrench, buy the paper towels or degreasers or whatever.

And if you fuck it up, your car is ruined. All that being said, more DIY is probably a good thing, but we all gotta find out own comfort zones and decide what’s worth trying out.
