Vehicle Maintenance and Repair

My mechanical abilities with bicycles rolled over into my ability to do maintenance work on my own automobiles. During my later teen years I had repaired and replaced brakes, shocks, mufflers, wheels, tires, and overhauled engines. I did my own tune ups and took care of all the maintenance on my vehicles as well as my parents' vehicles. I even bought a wrecked vehicle to get the engine out of it to replace a worn out engine in another vehicle my dad owned. My dad was happy that I got his car running again and was impressed with the good job I had done.
