I Thought I Could Save $120 on an Oil Change. Now I'm Looking at a $6,000 Bill

I just bought a brand-new Mazda CX-90. It was a huge purchase, and I wanted to be smart with my money. My dealership charges about $120 for a synthetic oil change, which I figured was way too much. How hard could it be to do it myself and save some cash? Well, it turns out, it's pretty hard. I went to jack up the car to get to the oil pan. It seemed like the perfect spot, so I put the jack right there. However, the oil pan on this model is a key structural part of the engine, and I cracked it. I literally jacked up a 4,000-pound vehicle by a part that's not supposed to be touched. I'm now looking at a 30-hour repair job that's going to cost me thousands of dollars. All because I was too cheap to pay $120. I feel like an absolute idiot. #DIYFail #CarRepair #Mazda #Regret #HelpNeeded #Cars

My mechanic says my rusted brake lines are fine. But I'm still terrified

I am in a really tough spot and would appreciate some advice. I am currently in Michigan and need to get back to New York, which is about an 11-hour drive. My 2003 Buick Regal has less than 50k miles on it and just passed all its inspections, except for one thing. The mechanic says I have rusted brake lines, but he says there are no leaks or seepage and that he would drive it himself. The thing is, I'm still nervous about driving that far with them and having a leak happen halfway through the trip. My options are to ship the car home for $700, get a rush repair here for $2,000, or try to get it home and fixed in New York for about $1,000. I'm so stressed out over this decision. What would you do in my situation? #CarRepair #RoadTrip #HelpNeeded #CarAdvice #Cars

My mechanic said I need a new tire, but he couldn't even tell me why

I took my 2012 Mazda 3 in for a look because it is making a clunking sound after I hit a jump. The mechanic said I needed a new control arm, which makes sense to me. But then he told me I also needed a brand new tire. I was pretty confused. The tires are only two years old and I can't see anything wrong with them. I asked the mechanic what the problem was and he just ran his hand over it and said he could "feel it." He gave me no other explanation. I also thought the price was ridiculous. He said it would be $150 for just one tire. I paid about $300 for a whole set of them on sale at Walmart. This is not a dealership either, just a new random guy I've never seen before. Does anyone have a clue what he could have been talking about? #CarTrouble #MechanicAdvice #DIY #CarRepair #AutoRepair #HelpMe #HelpNeeded #CarTires
