Does anyone else suffer from the thought process of “If I don’t mess with it, it will stay reliable”?
I have a pretty good knowledge base and a reasonable amount of experience working on cars in every way. Mechanical, electrical, cosmetic, etc.
I *know* that replacing parts, replacing fluids, and cleaning things that need to be cleaned will keep a car healthy and extend the useful lifetime of each part and the car in general. But I just cannot shake the mindset of “well if it’s lasted this long as-is, maybe I shouldn’t open it up or take it apart. Just let it be, since it’s been so reliable just as it is.” Even if something is well past it’s recommended lifespan. Especially so, actually.
How do you get over the seemingly irrational fear of maintenance actually causing more/new problems?
Is anyone doing a same day preview that the couple can see while still at the wedding? I’ve been doing a little like 45 second highlight reel of the first part of the day that I put on display during the reception and it’s been drawing a lot of interest and gotten me a surprising amount of inquiries the last few months. Basically free advertising at the wedding and great for posting the morning after for IG/TikTok content.
