this would not help.... but i felt like i should post it.
There's couple of things that i do not touch at my car: brakes and steering.
I do change my pads, but that's it.
The reason for it is that these two things will keep you safe on the road. This doesn't mean that when i take my car in for service i'm not closely following what they "repair".... I know it's not always a pleasure to have smb around checking and asking all kind of stuff.... but hey ->> it's my life (possible others' as wel) and i don't wanna "take a brake" cause smb fooled with my car...
That's me.
