Even those who have never attempted an auto repair can perform certain repairs with very little guidance. Some of the easiest car repairs you can (and should) do yourself include replacing your wiper blades, replacing a light bulb, even replacing a fuse and an air filter. There are plenty of online resources and that can guide you on exactly what to do. Sometimes, you can walk into an auto parts store, purchase a part, and a staff member might be able to walk you through the job in the parking lot, if it鈥檚 easy enough. These jobs just may provide a stepping stone and the courage you need to attempt even more of your own car repairs, which can lead to more savings.
