Question for the Guys: How Many of You are Handy Men in Fixing Homes or Fixing Your Cars?

[Itrah]

I'm a total noob when it comes to fixing cars. Always bring it to the garage when there's something wrong.

[Advo]

I remember my car was over heating and I took it in for a check up. The indhayar dude was like $150

Im like

I went to autozone after I identified the problem and bought a tube for $5

Problem fixed. Ever since then I replace everything I can. Nothing worse than a guy who knows nothing about the first love of his life (his car)

I cant fix anything.tech and materials were my worst performing subjects at school.i couldn't cut in a straight line.i suck at drawing too.i have noticed most ciyaala suuq are good at crafts and sports.lol.

Sure are the biggest scammers.

Folks won't let me buy a car unless I take an automotive mechanic short course as well.

It can't be that hard, dopey men do it all the time

No problem bro.
I'm not really into cars tho.Just not my thing (dirt bikes/motorcycles are my first love) & the bit of mechanical knowledge I pocess I've acquired wrenching on all my bikes since a kid.

Awesome feeling!!! Not only are you saving money but you convince yourself you're good at something. To my knowledge the only time a vehicle lift is needed is when you're doing complex engine work, think transmission overhaul or replacing a cradle engine.

If you're adament about getting your car off the ground theirs a much cheaper way but It requires a little patience.


1.Concrete slabs ( this should be your foundation,it's never a good idea to suspend weight on a surface you don't want damaged like a garage or carport)

2.Jack stands.( 6 ton jacks are ideal & future proof,they also support most weight loads so less to worry about)

3.Canopy/tarp ( This isnt a must but itll save you from rain,extreme heat,snow etc.)
If you place it over the concrete slab setup not only do you have a dedicated repair area but it could double as a car wash area or backyard family gathering.

Example:

A canopy this size with a concrete foundation is a win bro.

If I were in Ohio I'd help you set everything up.Just keep tampering with things & keep a sharp eye on the way it goes back in & you'll be diagnosing stuff in no time.

Salih,

On step# 2 - I found this video that gives the safety tips of how to lift your vehicle and sustain it with 6-ton jack stands. This solves the vehicle lift issue. It was overkill and costly as well. The 6-ton jack stand resolves the issue.

On step#, my garage is attached to the house and it is covered, so I am good in that area.

Thanks bro for the great tips.

Wow, we have another handyman here.

Do you mind spilling more beans on where the tube is located, how you did it, and extra measures or cautions that you have followed?

How do you identify the problem? Majority of the time when the car is heating up, the first place I check is the thermostat.


Thanks!

Handy men.





... the types that can fix things around the home, and be tech support.

Evol: yeeeeeees. And when they change your tires, check the oil in the car for you.

Evol and Idman: I saw tough women who do it too even tough it is very rare! But yeah, your hubbies should at least do some of the work; however, if they are rich, they can get people do the work for you while your hubbies spend that quality time with you. I am hoping the latter! I am very good at prayers and I have seen my dua working!
