once the warranty is out on my own stuff I do all the work myself, right now I am specializing in ford 7.3 diesels, VW 2.0L diesels, and HD 88CI twin cam motors
but I did spend the money for a good diagnostic program which alone has saved me over 1000 bucks in tests alone, as my truck was ripped off a few years ago and driven into a lake
a good place to start is with a Haynes or Chilton manual for your car, far from everything you need to know but a good start for learning routine maintenance, where stuff is and basic trouble shooting that will narrow stuff down for you. they also have a section on suspension repair so that might tell you exactly how to do it your self and save you a ton right away.
