Over the past few years, I began servicing my own vehicles to save on labor costs. Furthermore, I had lost faith in many auto mechanics after they have unscrupulously recommeded unncessary services and/or did bad repairs on my vehicles. U Do It Auto Repair is a place where one can rent a bay, which includes a lift and tools, to service their vehicles pro se! While the neighborhood where this is located appears to have seen better days, I felt safe in the area. Additionally, the facilities are clean and the staff are always helpful and friendly.
I came in for an oil and filter change. After consulting my vehicle's manual for the type and quantity of oil needed, and purchasing my own oil and filter from AutoZone, I made an appointment online for a bay at U Do It. U Do It has a special where they do not charge for doing an oil change on Tuesdays, up to 30 minutes. Otherwise, the bay can be rented by the hour, and prices are reasonable.
I arrived at the scheduled day and time. The bay was available and Cruz, the available mechanic that day, directed me in, and lifted my vehicle. After draining the used oil and replacing the plug, I waved him to drop my car back to the ground, where I replaced the filter and poured in new oil. All the necessary tools are there to do the job, as well as shop towels and rags.
Cruz was very friendly and helpful, and I very much appreciated his advice and small talk on car repair! Until the time comes when I get a car lift for my own home, I will use U Do It for DIY vehicle repairs and maintenance. read more
