At some point I had to choose to pay to have the work done and become the helper, when I had my DSM I was more incline to do the work myself, I'm a fast learner and all, but once I got a third hernia and lost the ability to walk for 2 months because I had to move a tranny (this almost cost me my business cause I was working usually 6-7 day a week) I decided it was not worth it, plus all the trouble I had with a condo garage, with all the neighbors not liking it I decided to hire my friend to do it.

It was an easy decision for me because it would be like having Ray Pampena working on my car for 45$/hour. My friend happen to be the best 4G63 mechanic in the Canada! So when I have something to do on the car, I go see him, he has a fully equip garage as he do this for living, and I can still work with him, be the helper.

It's very handy, cause where I live now, I have an underground parking with 119 other car, no work allowed and no space to store the tools (those I didn't had to buy over the time).
