Do-it-yourself auto repair—simply called DIY auto repair—is when a vehicle owner performs his or her own auto repair and auto maintenance. There are literally thousands of components on a vehicle that can break and only certain ones should be done by a DIY auto mechanic.
We will break these down into three categories of DIY auto mechanics:
- beginner (oil change, checking fluid levels, etc.),
- intermediate (brake pad maintenance, fluid flushes, etc.) and;
- advanced (replacing parts such as engines, transmissions and suspension repairs).
Beginner DIY Auto
The beginner DIY auto mechanic can handle most of the basic maintenance items on their car. A person with this level of DIY auto experience can handle changing the oil in most cars. He can also check and fill most of his own fluids, such as: washer fluid, engine oil, brake fluid, power steering fluid and coolant. He can also change his own wiper blades with relative ease.
