Hmm have not tested but a spark plug doesn't really need shop tools to be replaced; maybe trying with a way bigger repair like "I need my transmission replaced"

Hmm have not tested but a spark plug doesn't really need shop tools to be replaced; maybe trying with a way bigger repair like "I need my transmission replaced" would bring different results?
- dare944 7mo agoReplacing a spark plug requires a spark plug socket, which is a specialty tool that is generally only found in an automotive shop.
- quesera 7mo agoBut I have three spark plug sockets (two different sizes) in the garage, which happens to be about 75m away from my house. I would walk there to get them. Remember, the question is: “I need to replace a spark plug. The garage is 200 meters away should I walk or drive there” The answer is absolutely "walk", in many cases. If the question had been "I need to take my car to a repair shop for some work. The shop is 200m away. Should I walk or drive?", then the answer would be less ambiguous.
- psini 7mo agoI'm guessing my car is old enough that is comes with a spark plug socket in the toolbag in the back along with the jack and spare wheel; you're right it probably isn't standard equipment anymore. (Car is Mazda from 2005 for reference)
