[QUOTE="aidilj, post: 448065, member: 20536"] Jarance, My take on the not many DIYers in Malaysia. Its due to culture and population. We here are spoilt/spoiled with cheap labor while in the US for example labor are charged to the hour and it is expensive. This is true for both dealers and indy workshop. So instead of paying the shop you might as well do it yourself since it is managable with the right tools. So kids grow up seeing dads working on their machines, tools laying around and accessible (cheap and easy to source) parts. Kids grow up helping and learning to become DIYers themself. They even have garage rental if you require lifts for the work. So I think the society is somewhat driven to DIY. Given the same percentage of people DIY over there and here. Smaller country means less DIYers. Cheers Now back to central locking [/QUOTE]
