Invest in high-quality tools that you will own forever.

[http://www.kiwibox.com/tablesnail06/blog/entry/109239187/what-you-should-know-about-fixing-automobiles/?pPage=0 Great Advice About Auto Repair That Anyone Can Easily Follow] There is no real benefit to getting repairs done at the dealer. Great mechanics are everywhere, regardless of whether you visit a local mechanic or drive out of town to visit your dealer. If you find someone that you're comfortable with, they should be used.
Also know that doing the auto repairs yourself can prove rather dangerous. Have someone assist you and make sure they are ready to react to emergencies. Put your money towards purchasing good tools that will last. In particular, only use the best equipment for changing tires. Keep in mind that the jack you use needs to safely hold the car up, especially when you go under the car. Buy an adequate hydraulic floor jack that has approved jack stands.
