I had a mechanic that I trusted 100%. When I started to go to him 15 years ago he was a one man shop. He did wonderful work and it was a family business. His kids would do their homework at the front desk after school. His business grew, moved to a new larger shop and he hired new folks. The new folks are not as detailed. I found some non OEM parts after being charged for true OEM. Last time I was in there I had a transmission fluid and filter change. Almost immediately the transmission started slipping. I called my mechanic to ask he told me we likely needed to replace the transmission… $2,500. Well I went to Honda and bought the Honda transmission fluid and filter and did the fluid change again on my own in my home garage. Now the transmission slips less. I think the less detailed mechanics refilled with the incorrect transmission fluid. I am going to do a drop and fill again with new Honda fluid to see if the transmission shifts even better and stops slipping all together. You have to change the fluid 3X to get 80-90% of the fluid swapped without dropping the pan. I am bummed as I do not mind working on my fun car myself (2006 Mini R53) but my daily driver I would rather leave to others with a lift and full assortment of tools. I have started working on my Honda myself. I have lost trust in my mechanic. Got quotes from other local shops but those have been sky high so I end up doing the work myself. Swapped out rear struts, sway bar bushings and end links this week… saved myself $1,400 on labor alone and same parts I installed quoted were marked up nearly 3X. Had the local Honda stealership do my last oil change they tried to tell my my tires needed to be replaced… they had 5,000 miles on them. They also didn’t clean up after dropping the filter and my car dripped oil on my garage floor for a week. With those types of savings my wife is 100% behind my tool buying.

for some reason Honda 2020+ versus Honda 1995 are two very different animals. Even the parent company is a mess and what the new car pricing allowed is insane. From trusted company to shady-as-hell! As for the Mini, if you can work on it then you can work on anything! Not easy!

Interesting how you'd rather work on your harder-to-work-on car than a Honda...? You don't want to change the transmission fluid too often. You don't want to remove all the old fluid. If you do, you're removing all the friction material that has worn off the clutch packs and suspended in the fluid, which is what is used to provide frictional force to prevent it from slipping.

I’m pretty good with technical stuff and I was able to change the valve cover gasket unfortunately twice. Used the aftermarket parts the first time. Learned my lesson😂 I fixed my transfer case and changed transfer case fluid, put new spark plugs and coils. I regularly change oil and filter. Not bad for a girl👩‍🔧Bentley has become my bible. So far no other major stuff. 2007 BMW x3 a little over 100,000 miles looks great runs great

I don't know everything but I know if you take good care of what you own it lasts longer so I am always looking for issues that might bite me in the behind and deal with issues ASAP on my terms.

@@kge420, I am just doing it part time right now. The oil is cheap if you buy in bulk. Did a 2013, 2.5 Passat that holds almost 6.5 quarts. The thing had less than 3 quarts with the filter in it. I go to reset the oil service light and it reads -11,241 miles. CEL on so I got my scanner and 2 cylinders have a missfire. Told her I would diagnose and possibly fix her car for $100. Move around the plugs to see if the missfire moves and then if it does not then I will get the plugs for $50 and charge her $50 to put them in. Car has almost 190K. She got it with a little over 60K and never did plugs. No clue how the thing did not blow up. Did a 2013 Corolla last week in 17 minutes and metal shavings in the oil. A lot of these people so far I have serviced really do not take care of their cars.

I trust most mechanics not to rip me off intentionally however, it seems like they’re always in a time crunch so, more often than should be I’ve found some bits not tightened properly or misaligned or missing. I always check the vehicle over after I get it back. Usually it’s nothing too serious but I can tell their attention wasn’t on the details because they were hurrying. This has been true at independent shops and dealerships. Kinda annoying.

$6,200 for new BMW OEM transfer case for 2016 X6M. OUCH! Always warn folks buying used BMW (from experience) have to be able to OWN/MAINTAIN it as well as purchase it. Did most of my own work on my wife's BMW's over the years, (thanks to Jonny and Sretten @M539 Restorations) but parts are VERY Expensive and repairs can be very time consuming (ie replace oil pan gasket on Xdrive models). She is driving a Honda now and loves it. And I love not having to fix something every 3 months. Told her when we are retired, will go back to BMW's but for now, Honda daily drivers for both of us. Miss driving BMW but not the cost/work involved in maintaining used BMW's.

For me--not. Yes I have them, but in summer your hands sweat like hell and they get slippery inside. Second, at my age, I have always liked to 'feel' what I am working on, so I also like bare hands. Just what you are used to I suppose.

I do and only one person touched my built STI and he’s gold certified by the engine builder. If you go to smaller shops that don’t have a lot of clientele then maybe they are the dishonest ones but shops with a rep don’t risk it because it’s not worth it.

I had that very thing happen with the oil filter. Light came on after oil change so I did some research and sure enough. Mechanic knew nothing about it.

probably cause the x6m owner drives the snot out of it, I mean Jonny did say it was tune.

Guys, there are trucks that pull every day, all day, with tunes, and their transfer cases don’t blow for 100s of thousands of miles.
