So, my question is, who could look at my car and tell me what I need to do but not expect to do it himself?
Some example: the tires have lots of tread but are almost 10 years old. Should they be changed? The windshield washer bottle is broken, but changing it is a major hassle requiring hours of work. Should I get it fixed, or not? The list goes on------->

Douglas tires from Walmart auto center are made in the USA and very reasonably priced
