Depends on the job, special tools and workspace needed, and time.
I recently had a mechanic replace a wheel hub assembly for me. He sourced the parts, finding them for about 5% cheaper than I could find them. His labor rates were very reasonable. And I don't have a lot of time for that sort of job, nor space to do it efficiently where I currently live. Could I have done it? Yes. But he got it done in 3 hours where it would have taken me the better part of the weekend.
For what I have in mind I think I could pull it off relatively quickly myself. I just wonder if I should try ordering online and where. In Canada ideally.
I have a couple online stores I check, otherwise I just use the Google Shopping tab. Auto parts don't seem to be spammed up as much as other things yet. Heck, online Walmart often times has what I need.
