Interview Post

People in this time tend to let other people do their repairs on their cars instead of themselves. There could be many reasons for this, the main cause for it I think is that people were not educated on how to do these things. Even if it is small things such as changing your oil or rotating your tires you should have a certain extent of knowledge about your vehicle. This knowledge can come in handy probably more than you think.

Everyone in my family either works at a garage or take their cars to the garage but most just make their own repairs to save money. Because my family has access to a garage with professional equipment we are able to make repairs and do tune ups to our cars with very little or no charge. But other people might not be as lucky as me and they may have to go to Autozone or other stores that sell similar products and this might cost more but some garages may overcharge you if they think you are inexperienced with this type of thing.

If your are going to go to a garage then you should call at least three and get an estimate of how much the job will be. Also you should check to see if they have had any bad references or not and then choose the best choice.

I interviewed my friend, Carlos Martinez about this. He has three brothers and only one sister, and he lives with both of his parents. This year will be his last year in high school and he drives a Chevrolet Malibu. Carlos and I have been friends ever since elementary school.

The first question I asked Carlos was if his family works on their own cars he answered:
Yes me and my dad and my brother do all of the repairs to my mom and dads cars.

The second question I asked him was what all he knows how to do to fix cars and he said I know how to change the oil and the tires but my dad and older brother do most of the main repairs but they are trying to teach me more.

Unfortunately our interview was cut short because he had to do his chores. What I got from the interview was that each family has their own way of bonding and his family's way of doing that is working on their cars. This is also a way that my family gets to spend time together too.
