I do a lot of work on my car, originally due to finance but I genuinely enjoy working mine and my wife’s car.
The problem now is that people at work ask for help with their cars because they know I know things. I’ve changed spark plugs and air filters for a few during lunch but they ask me to do things that’ll take more than 1 Hour such as changing brake pads/discs, suspension and whatnot.
Point is, how do you say, if you want my time pay me… Or just no, your car is a shitbox and I don’t wanna touch this
“I’d love to help but I don’t have time to do that”. Or “hey since you like carpentry how about you come over and help me rebuild my deck next weekend, and I’ll swap your brakes out while you’re hear”
