Sharing entry #3: DIY / home&car maintenance

Third verse, same as the first two:

Over the next few days, I will be trying to post one entry per day where people can share general tips and tricks they think could be valuable to others. No matter how basic they are or how few people you think would profit from them. Just think about how you do things and share this with others.



This entry is all about Do-it-yourself, home and car maintenance

also, if you replace your brake pads in time, you can take the rotors into a parts store and have them machined down--this way you don't even need new rotors every time. (but you can only do this about once or twice for each set of rotors!)

or, if you're looking for a good mechanic, ask around at a parts store! (o'reilly's in particular tends to deliver parts to local mechanics, so they know a lot of them and they're generally up on who's good for what.)

True! (We do all our own car stuff, so I'm not good at finding mechanics, unless you live near me.)
