We have a way older car that he also changes oil &amp; filter and does any maintenance/repair work with the help of our dads. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-or-your-so-good-with-car-maintenance#post-453496 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 12:00:58 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 453496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only thing I'm good at is making appointments with mecanics - but DH is stellar. Cars are his hobby - he's swapped engines, transmissions, etc. Although he's capable, he usually doesn't have time to change our oil or make repairs - though he does have time to diagnose problems. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-or-your-so-good-with-car-maintenance#post-453485 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 11:57:04 +0000 Ash 453485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH does everything for our vehicles. Oil changes, tire stuff, everything. He's so handy! I couldn't fix my car if my life depended on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-or-your-so-good-with-car-maintenance#post-453478 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 11:54:48 +0000 Alivoo01 453478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubby does all the oil changes for the trucks, and we get a lifetime oil change from the dealer for our Sequoia so when the time comes, the hubby will take it in to get it done. We have K&amp;N air/cabin filters so the hubby will clean those out himself. He's usually pretty on top of whatever car maintenances are needed. So glad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-or-your-so-good-with-car-maintenance#post-453451 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 11:48:07 +0000 lavender 453451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's handy, learned from my FIL (who's a mechanic) but we usually go to the dealership to get serviced bc we don't have the extra space/time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-or-your-so-good-with-car-maintenance#post-453441 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 11:46:11 +0000 LivsMama 453441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ours is fully covered from when we bought the car, and they call to remind us, so right now we are really good with it. DH has a company car, so his is covered as well. Once our warranty expires, Ill probably forget lol</p> <p>DH is very up to date on it all though. Hes big into cars. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-or-your-so-good-with-car-maintenance#post-453434 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 11:44:31 +0000 MrsBrewer 453434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't do anything! I actually don't even bring my car in for oil changes or anything to do with my car. I told DH that cars are his complete responsibilty! I will fill my gas tank (although I will admit DH goes and fills my tank for me more than I ever do!) and takes my car in for any kind of maintenance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-or-your-so-good-with-car-maintenance#post-453425 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 11:42:46 +0000 autumnlove 453425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH does the basics and changes our cabin and air filters. We usually just pay for oil changes since they are inconvenient for him to do!</p> <p>I don't do any car maintenance! </p>
