No, I’m not a moron. I know enough about cars to know when it’s time.

I changed the transmission fluid on my truck for the first time at 130k miles does that count?

For the most part, yes, and I have 185K miles on my car with no MAJOR issues.

I have Les Schwab rotate my tires for free, change cabin air filters, fill washer fluid, and changed wiper blades. What else needs to be done to a car?

This thread is the reason to not buy used vehicles. The epitome of, “buying someone else’s problem”

I change the tires when there’s no tread left. Does that count?

Couldn’t be more incorrect

I’m rich because I know cars are a giant waste of money

My answer is yes…

When you had to keep track by mileage in a book? No

Now that your car just gives you the reminder on the screen? I schedule an appointment when it pops up

So the car does most of the work

I do but at my mechanic. He is honest and will tell me what I need and don’t need.

That's debatable.

It might be a good poll for Hairy in the future.
