Hey guys, im looking to buy a car within the next few months (half way there to saving up), and wanna do some of the servicing myself to reduce the amount i have to pay mechanics, seeing that most of my money goes towards uni.
Any help would be appreciated
Cheers

Did you just ask if people would come around to yours and service your car????

Ask Rollaboy if he can get you the service sheets for whatever car you buy. Then you know what would normally be done at each service interval.
Seriously most manufacturers service centres are pretty lame... I got my car serviced at a dealer and I would NEVER go back.
Things like this give me good reason not to:
Diff oil inspection bolt not reinstalled
Dash screws replaced with wood screws
"Your power steering rack is cracked and needs replacing $2500 bucks!" Problem: Rack boot was split $15 for parts
Keep the feeling my ar$e!
