The only other thing that makes this tough is my lack of access to a garage... Or power and water for that matter. The apartment life is not for car guys!!

You can definitely save a considerable amount of money by doing this yourself, but as with any new skill, it takes a lot of time and practice to master it.
Access to power is pretty critical, but running water, not so much... there are plenty of great ways to wash your car with only one bucket of water which you can fill up in your apartment and carry outside. Check out this great write up of how to use
