Oh, it serves a purpose. Every time I do something to the car, I make sure to tell my wife what it WOULD have cost if I'd had a mechanic--or worse, the dealer--do the work. She never gripes about what I spend on the car.
Also, it's a teaching tool for her boys: learn to do this stuff yourself and save big bucks down the road. One of them is getting the message; the other is going to make his mechanic very rich once he's out of the house and on his own.
