There are a number of valid reasons why people don't do their own work.
I have rarely taken my own vehicles to a shop, but I've been blessed that they haven't needed much for repairs. Thank God! When I have had work done at a shop, it seems to me they have a checklist of things they recommend you have done. I think they sometimes just look at the mileage and base their recommendations on that alone, often without actually doing any sort of inspection to see if you really need to have the work done. I would get a second opinion, whether you decide to do the work yourself or not.
