my .02 about changing your oil vs paying someone else to do it
as someone who has done both
some people have more time than money, others have more money than time
depending on the job, i value my time at x amount of dollars per hour. Yea, i could change my own oil, but it might eat into something else that i want to do b/c it will take me longer than the dealership. Depends on how you value your time will determine if changing your own oil is worth it
same with washing your own car vs taking it to a detail spot...there is really no wrong answer b/c you will fall into one of those two categories...unless you just like doing shit with your hands, and there is still nothing wrong with that
i dont wanna kick kandy down...but i wish she would've run this by us first so at the least, she could know what to look out for, but seems like she learned her lesson or whatever
