Its important to understand your vehicle, it makes it harder for a shop tech to make you white knuckle your own ankles.

I do my work myself because it is about money and I have always liked working on cars/trucks/bikes.

Save money, make sure its done right, Understand your car can help you out of a roadside breakdown. I never understood paying someone else to perform a service or make an item that one can make for onesself. It's a great feeling to be mostly self-sufficient.
