If it is a good freind or a family member, I will do some light repairs. A meal and some refreshments is all I ask.

I've fixed another man's car several times if we're talking about older family members who can't do so themselves. And I've helped friends fix their vehicles plenty of times. Helped stranded people I met in passing several times.

But if we're not friends/family and you're physically capable... well then you're gonna have to pay up

What brings a man to fix another man's automobile?

Small repair job = 6 pack beer
Large repair job = case of beer

When the kids (and I ) were younger I preferred to let them do the work while I sat on a stool and directed them. Now they just take it in and let a pro do it.
