Probably could do some of this stuff yourself. It might seem intimidating at first but it could save you money and save you from mechanics overselling their labour.
Yes and no. Getting all the tools you need can be a significant expense for someone poor, and you gotta have somewhere to keep it all (such as a garage). Unfortunately one of those "gotta have money to save money" type of situations. DIY undoubtedly is cheaper though (and sort of fun).
True that, it costs hundreds of euros to get a full set of tools. It is really unfortunate, it depends on how much you are ready to spend up front.
