Servicing, get your hands dirty or not?
Aloha,
After speaking to alot of wrx owners selling their cars i've found that the majority of them don't have a service histroy? Owners claim to do general servicing themselves, and leave bigger jobs to the garages. Which i can understand entirely- i wouldn't mind changing the oil myself, i'd be likely to do it in smaller intervals then 5000kms seeing as though i'd save a bit of money. So straight from the owners what do you guys do and why? Cheers! Last edited by Sebastien; 25-06-2008 at 01:50 PM. |

Anything to do with the engine I get ASG to do it now. That way, they are responsible for building, tuning and servicing i.e. the whole lot.
Anything I can do myself, I do it at home. |

I pretty much do all my own work. I only go elsewhere when I need a hoist.

Everything is done at a workshop and the logbook signed when its that service time.

I do the oil every 5,000 km's and then get log book service when it's due. Although log book service is pretty pointless.

you need more that 2 options for the poll. - something on the other end of the scale. eg why pay a mechanic your hard earned bucks when you can do it yourself...
but yeah, im all for doing things yourself.... i have never taken any of my cars to a mechanic. not even to rebuild an engine.. Steve |
