Auto repair has returned to yards and garage cooperatives: many people cannot afford to visit gas stations, and domestic car owners are again doing minor problems and regular car maintenance with their own hands. And this requires not only a tool and desire, but also a certain amount of “tools”.
Change the oil – a thousand rubles. Air filter – from three hundred to five hundred. Another five hundred asked for the salon! Pump on the brake – another thousand! Yes, there are fewer parts than work! Have you gone crazy? All these operations are performed completely free of charge and within minutes, and even faster with a certain skill and preparation. The main thing is to fill your hand. Of course you need a set of wrenches, pullers or an old timing belt to pull the oil filter off, not screwdrivers. In a word, you don’t even need to go to the store – you will find it on the shelves of the garage. Unless you have to squirm, crawl and crawl.
One thing is unpleasant: the summer turned out to be cold and rainy, climb under a car – not only to get dirty, but also to shiver. Yes, and kneeling just hurts – here you are not a sofa, but pebbles or – at best – the concrete floor of an underground garage. And here to save your knees and back, ordinary cardboard will help.
Especially clever car repair enthusiasts have long assembled a structure consisting of a dozen sheets, on which you can not only sit or stand “in the knee-elbow”, but also fold all sorts of fasteners so that it “does not run away”. Let’s open a little secret: such a “device” can be found ready-made, because such a design is often the basis for packaging various large household appliances. Cookers, refrigerators, washing machines and dishwashers.
Having taken care of such a cardboard box in advance or collecting it yourself from “useful leftovers” that are thrown away in large quantities at every house, you can save a lot of strength and health, perform car maintenance faster and more conveniently and save a lot of money without ruining your own health. Of course, it does not look as pompous as special carpets and tackles, but it works just as well.
The economy mode, which must be turned on by the majority of Russians, naturally affects the maintenance of the vehicle. Someone is saving on spare parts, someone is working, and some even give up and leave the service until better times.
The last option is the most expensive, because delayed repairs always result in multiple higher costs, long searches and machine downtime. It’s not worth it: there is nothing complicated and inaccessible to every car owner in maintenance and minor repairs. Is changing a wheel a problem? So what’s wrong with the filter?
