I suppose it is inevitable. What jobs do you realistically face on a car nowadays ?
Discs, easy.
Pads, easy.
Bulbs, battery etc, easy.
Auxillary belt , looking at doing mine soon.
Most if those, most people will only do once in each period of car ownership.
Timing belt, I'm planning to do mine when it's due.
Wheel hubs / bearings I've done before but wouldnt think they'll go on cars I have now.
There are jobs I'd like to think I could do, clutches, stuff like that but it's highly unlikely to be needed, again because my cars nowadays are generally between 12 months and 5 years old at the most.
But theres so many jobs people used to do, my dad changed engines, clutches etc...but he did that because he had to, it was inevitable these things went. They served their purpose very well, but their relevance has gone really.
