Money and time saving tips here
Post your car related tips here. I'll go first.
1. Cut the top 4" off a 2liter pop bottle. Wash it and save it to use as a funnel when you change oil. Then toss it when you're done. No washing and saving.
2. Use a 1lb empty coffee can to put your used oil filter in. Saves a lot of dirty mess.
Any other tips?

Kitty litter is an excellent oil remover for concrete. When you change your oil, you always have a drop here and there. Just put some kitty litter on it and grind it in with your foot. Let it sit there for a few days. It will absorb all the oil. Excellent tip, jawzforlife.

When doing CLB installation, make sure you have one of those small snake lights. It's the kind that have a long, thin, bendable neck. The area you work in is very tight and dark. I only had big flashlights which kept getting in my way since you need to shine them up from the driver side floor which is exactly where your head needs to be parked!

Carry a small bottle of detail spray and clean MF towels to prevent costly paint damage.

You can wear the same shirt for 4 days ...
Day 1 - The right way.

Day 3 - Inside out, Right way
Day 4 - Inside out, Back side forward
This also works for underwear.
