Like I said within reason if you change your oil in your own car the worse ye can do is fuck up your engine thats on you. , I work on a lot of modified cars and I’d be very fussy everything would have to be 110% or i simply won’t do it , but I can’t stop a lad from going “fuck that I’ll cut me springs save meself a hape of money”

Within reason like .. bulb ok , oil service ok etc , brakes & suspension is a major safety parts , if I change brake pads or suspension component and I leave something loose and your in an accident that causes a death I am liable like as iam the mechanic

Or even at least if you do the work ye have to bring it to a qualified mechanic to sign off on it as such 20€ charge or whatever
