Many of us are passionate about our vehicles. Some even like to fiddle around and do minor repairs on the vehicle on their own. Whether it be changing fluids, replacing fused bulbs, or doing some performance tuning under the hood.

So i wonder how many of us, here on GS, are DIY (Do It Yourself) kind of people. It can range from anything small as changing the headlight/tail light bulb to major tuning that requires specific knowledge about car behavior.

After you vote, please share what is it that makes you a DIY person and what do you do on your vehicle.


EDIT: It is not limited to your vehicles alone. It extends to other things that may need fixing around the house as well.

I voted Yes. If i am able to fix something on the vehicle, i'll do it if it's simple enough. But i won't touch any mechanical components that require an ASE Certified mechanic.

*Thus far i haven't had any need to repair or fix anything on the vehicle. But i've done the little fixes here and there on my vehicle(s) previously.*
