It takes a lot more to check a car for safety items than just learning how to change rotors and pads. My mother can change rotors and pads. Do you know how to check for ball joint play, look for any sign of frame damage, alignment issues and so on. It takes many years of training to see these things. I will never be on the track again with a club that lets a driver that "can change his own pads and rotors" do his own tech inspection. That is asking for a lot of accidents. I like my life and my car.
