I bought a '99 Jeep Cherokee about a month ago and I am very happy with it so far. It's only my second car so lots of research went in to finding the right vehicle. I wanted something strong for daily driving now, but also for off road modification once I am out of college and have more money in my wallet. We also have a '01 Ford Taurus and my "Ol' Reliable" Chevy Corsica. Besides regular oil changes, I have only replaced a radiator, thermostat, and S belt. My next task is to change brake pads which I have never done before. I'm tired of paying some stranger to do jobs I should be able to handle. My friends and immediate family members have no automotive know how. I figure I'll teach myself one job at a time with the generous help of sites like this.

You will get alot of help here. Check out the write up section I'm sure somebody did a write up brakes.
Same here nobody in my family had mechanic know how
I started as a auto parts driver making $200 bucks a week and couldint afford garage rates so I did the work myself.
15 years later I'm running a shop and making good $$$ lol
