My gf refuses to do any kind of car maintenance, and I’m wondering what the community’s opinions are. Now a little more historical information, let me clarify her no maintenance policy. She reluctantly puts gas in the car, and even then she likes to have me to pump it. That is it, just gas! I have to sneak around her to just put windshield washer fluid in and put air in the tires. I have to badger her for a month to get her oil changed, and even then it costs me lunch so she doesn’t have to “waste” her valuable time waiting. Last year I offered to repair her brakes, I told her it would only cost like $30 for pads. Nope can’t afford that! So she drove them down to metal on metal, and then behind my back paid $600 to have them fixed. How I look at it I’m basically in a lose-lose situation. If I just take the car and do it all myself it is totally on my dime, and more disappointing is she will ***** at me for week afterwards. “You shouldn’t have done that.” “You could have gotten hurt.” “I was going to have the dealership do that, they know better than you.” And if I do nothing it usually ends up in a huge repair bill. But even that comes back on me, because she never has a dime for vacations or entertainment. So once again, it is on my dime if we do anything. Arrg. What to do!?!
