As most of you probably know I work @ a shipyard and some of my co-workers are mechanics. One of them used to be a car mechanic for 17yrs before he became a boat mechanic and because cars cost a lot to keep on the road he's going to give me a course in basic car maintenance. He's going to teach me how to chance the oil+oil filter and other fluids a car uses, change the sparkplugs, brake pads and basically everything I can do myself to keep my car (and my girlfriends car) in good condition. It will save us a lot of money over the years and I will also know for sure we won't get ripped off
