I always take my car to a mechanic. I am clueless about vehicles, so it's good to have so many places around me.

We bought a complete maintenance contract when we bought the car, so our only worry or surprise is how to get it to the dealership every three months.

I just do the basics and let the pros take care of the rest.

I have my son do it.  He researches everything thoroughly and tells me how much it will cost. He does good work.

I take my car to a mechanic. There would be more things wrong with it when I finished working on it because I wouldn't know what to do.  :P

Someday I wouldn't mind learning how to do basic maintenance on my car, but for now, I take my into a dealer service shop to get the maintenance done.  I do know how to change a tire in case of a  flat, but not oil or filter changes.  (I do know how to add fluids if needed, just not change them)

My dad will usually help with the smaller stuff, but have to go to the mechanic for the bigger issues.

I wish I knew how to work on my vehicle but I know nothing. My dad used to change my oil but he's too old to do that now so I take my car to a mechanic for everything.

I wish I knew how to repair my car I'd save a ton of money.  I take mines to Pep Boys.  My ex bf is a mechanic and that's one of the many reasons I regret breaking up with him is that he could have maintained my car for free  :(

I have to have about $1900 work done on my car and I sure wish I knew a cheap mechanic.

A mechanic.  My eyes glaze over when people start talking about cars in depth.
