I would personally do it myself out of pride, as I couldn't stand some spotty kid doing something on my car
Sorry - but I find that quite unkind, steroetypical and a little ill thought out.
Consider replacing the term "spotty kid" with "inexperienced mechanic" and it will sound a million times more reasonable. 
Mr V6CDX, you are neither no longer young (you old git  ) or spotty, so don't take offence at the spotty kid fresh out of school and trusted with your pride and joy with minimal training/experience, and excessive productivity targets.

Alas, age does seem to be creeping up on me. 25 next month, and it seems like yesterday I was 19    

It'll soon be 28, then 30...  

Actually I'm sorry if I sounded harsh, because I'm as aware as anyone else that there are some real incompetent and ham fisted mechanics out there. 
I was just making a point they they are most definately not limited to younger kids - 
When I look back on some of the crap garages told me (Which I took in) when I was younger, it makes me feel sick. 
Knowing what I know now, I'd have saved myself a fortune
