Save Money. Do It Yourself!

We like the idea of DIY - Do It Yourself. over the years we've taken on a number os small projects in and around the house. Painting, minor remodeling, landscaping, backyard farming are just a few examples. Most of the projects have been for fun. But when you start doing projects that end up saving you hundreds of dollars, well, that a whole new kind of DIY!! Jay just changed the spark plugs and coils in our Kia and saved us a ton of money! 

It's true! A couple of weeks a go, our Kia was in the shop. The engine had developed a rough idle and was loosing power when accelerating. When diagnosed, we were told it was one of our ignition coils. We were given a price for the repair and because Jay was too busy to really deal with it, we told the mechanic to fix it. We needed the car fixed ASAP.

But just this last week, we started experiencing the same issues. Rough idle. Loss of power. Just like before. However this time, we decided that we were going to fix it ourselves. Jay did a little Googling, watched a few YouTube videos, and made a plan. First, an oil change. We were due for an oil change anyway. Our oil was low that last time we had this problem so changing the oil just seemed the right thing to do. Second, replace the spark plugs and coils. Our idling and low power symptoms fit the diagnosis, so why not.

Jay visit our local auto parts store, ordered what was needed, and got to work. How it did it all turn out? Check out today's Life in the Higham House episode, Save Money. Do It Yourself!
