Bf wanted me to take my car to a mechanic. I opted for a Haynes manual and POW. 😎🫡⚡️⚡️

Zapped for DIY

👏🏻👏🏻 best way to learn is to get under the hood

That’s what I’m talking about!! I love this. Props to you 💜

💜💜💜👏🏻 thank you, Roya!

No thank you for doing it yourself. As a car girl myself, I repair my friends cars and teach them so that they don’t have to rely on mechanics. It’s the best feeling <3

I don’t trust mechanics. They see a woman walk into the shop and charge out the ying Yang. It’s all good… I got it! 💪🏻😂

Truth. I’ve got two girls and we are trying to teach them never to depend on someone else.

As a momma of two girls, I support this message.

Last year they quoted me around $1200 to replace my spark plugs at the dealership. I bought them, rolled up in my baby blue PINK sweatpants, and replaced them in their parking lot. Screw em. Maybe a diagnostic but YouTube is great

Thatta girl!!! Hell yeah! Bitcoin chicks are just built different. 😂👏🏻⚡️⚡️⚡️💜

YESS!! Pink sweatpants and all I love itttt. YouTube videos have taught me everything I know about cars

That’s awesome! I love seeing it. The looks ppl give when a girl is working on her car are priceless and the feeling of independence is empowering. I do have trouble torquing to spec with my girl hands…they are diamond hands

Ha! I know this struggle well. BF would normally help me with all this but he’s out of town at the moment and I’m impatient with it. Haha

I feel that! He’s prob worried about you and wants you to have support or I bet he’d be your handy mechanic if he was there

Yeah! #[4]​ is great! You nailed it. 💜

Yeppp, I worked for a car dealership as their service cashier and they would always try to pull one on ladies especially moms, I would always tell them that they were overcharging, I got fired lol

Heaven forbid their scam is unearthed. Good for you!

Haynes manual FTW

Always! Plus, you can rent tools at the auto shops for specialty things like the serpentine belt. Why would I pay thousands in fiat if I can do it myself?

YouTube is the new Haynes. Had to replace my front struts not long ago and I’ve never done that. Not only found a walkthrough of the procedure on the tube but also one showing it for my exact year and model.

That’s the way to do it! In his defense he would have done it all himself but he’s out of town at the moment and I’m stubborn as hell. He just didn’t want me to have to do it. 💜
