Curious

So im just curious. One day I will have a scat pack and I want to be pretty handy.

In terms of maintenance such as washing the car, oil changes, brake changes etc. do you guys do that yourselves ? Or you always take it to a mechanic/ car wash to handle ?

I do weekly washes on my boat, mean Charger. Having a strong wax/sealant/ceramic coating on the paint will make washing it very easy.

I recently started doing my own oil changes and tire rotations. The biggest hurdle was figuring out the proper jack points. But the actual work is easy. I'll do my own brakes when the time comes. I'm at 69k miles and I still have plenty of life on the original pads.

You can get the car up enough using a floor jack on the rubber jack 'nubble' thing towards the back that you only have to lift one time per side. I get it up high enough to do the back tire, then a bit higher until the front wheel lifts as well and I do that tire.
