Same here.

I did oil changes and simple service on my Golf II back in the days but at that time I did it to save money since I was a student and every DM saved helped.

Anyway, as my carreer progressed so did my salary and the value of the car followed. The unfortunate thing: The more expensive (newer or more luxurious) the cars get, the more difficult it gets to service them yourself - and the less time you have to learn about these things since you have to spend time making the money to get the car in the first place

I accepted along time back that there are things I'm good at and some were I ain't. So I pay people for the things I'm not good at or just don't have the interests to learn.

Especially since for car repairs you need a lot of specialized tools etc.

For new ones also software like VAGCOM where you can easily screw up if you don't know how to set the parameters right.


I will test the cleaning/washing service then. As I have adopted to the Swedish country side habit of just having the car washed when it rains, it could use a little bit more careful washing
