DIY VS. TECHNICIAN

[drthrift035]

Are Diy’s taking money away from Technicians. Please let me know. In my experience most people are too scared to work on their own cars. Please let me know what you think. Also the average person does not have enough tools.

Personally..I give alot of respect to those that try to fix their car themselves.

attempt working on there own cars and it has actually brought me busniess when they get in over there head or dont have the proper tools the way I look at it is there are enough people who are not willing to work on their own cars to make up for the small percentage of people that do[/quote]

DIYers actually help me make money (and no not in a backhanded compliment way 🙂 )

The parts stores I deal with give customers my name and number if they are too far in over their heads. I specialize in drive-ability and diagnostics so most of my calls from parts stores are usually related to that.
