Do my own brakes, minor tune up items and installed my coilovers.

New tires, alignments, paint or anything to do with tearing down my engine, I leave to a shop.

Alignments aren't too bad if you aren't low as fuck, lol.

Installed everything on this car myself. And my car hasn't been to the dealership for anything. I really think keeping it away from the dealer has been a major factor in having no problems with this car.
