Do you maintain your own car?

By the way the whole ordeal took a little over 2 hours for front/back brakes and oil change.

I actually ask this question of those that I interview. I think that it is a good way of telling if someone just has a knack for troubleshooting.

Yes, but being able to do that yourself, with intuition and trial and error, that is what makes someone valuable... they don't need their hands held.
