I have to admit, I am so cheap when it comes to other people doing owrk for me. I need a new water pump for my Suburban, and it bugs me that I don't really have the ability or time ot get it done on my own this weekend, so I'll fork over a whopping $350 to have my mechanic do it.

It bothers me to have my LBS do anything to my bike, with exception to truing the wheels. I am willing to spend $3000 on my ride, but not a $50 service fee. That's why I spent a measly $75 on a tool kit, which allows me to do just about everything on my own.
