There is a saying in my language “ no better than your nail can scratch your skin” so I learned since I joined Carnity not to cut my nails till Saturday night 🤣
and yes I agree with the DIY concept more or less at least for the basic stuff on weekly basis or let’s say after the weekly drive ! ... from after leaving the inflation point back home listening to what she might whisper to my ears! To visual inspection to fluid levels , under car , cv boot cracks , springs , leaks , filter cleaning and replacing , towing points integrity especially after many pulls ...etc ..and if I can’t DYI at least I know somehow what’s going on and recheck .
One time I have been told by my mechanic that what you hear is your differential is dying ... but I was not convinced .. digged my self with taking pictures and videos that he him self was convinced it’s not and issue solved in 10 min standing work and refused to take one dirham from me !
Unfortunately there are some situations we need a scratcher when the thing is in the back and our nails can’t reach 🤪 but at least we know where the itch is located 🤣
