Yes and no. 99% of stuff you can't really fix yourself anymore. And you need special tools. My Lincoln has a tail light bulb out and I can't figure out how the hell you get to it. One connector in the trunk feeds 3 lightbulbs in the assembly. Guess you have to pull out the entire tail light assembly. Ridiculous.

I found out on the VW Beetle I had you cannot change a headlight yourself. Only a vehicle dealer or repair place has tools to do it. Frickin' cost me $75 for a damn headlight, most of which was labor.

Not worth the mess and hassle changing oil anymore either, and trying to dispose of it. I just go to the quick lube place.

Cars these days don't really need tune-ups either much.

I don't even wash them myself. Too much work. I just drive through the carwash.

Guess the only thing I do myself is clean the interiors.

We had a car once where you had to take the tire off to change the battery, thats pretty poor planning.

I do all the work myself. From electrical, to mechanical, to body work. I can do it all man.

I once disassembled my Triumph sports car. Completely. Every nut and bolt. And then put it back together. And it worked again! And there were very few leftover parts.

I don't drive. If I did, I don't think I'd fix them myself.

There have been a couple cars which required pulling the engine to get at one of the sparkplugs.

Minor fixes I do myself. Major fixes go to my brothers who are mechanics
