I've tried googling for this to no avail. In the US, obviously, if you choose to perform repairs on your car yourself, you're free to do so. No one cares as long as the end result is good.
In terms of performing your own car repairs in Japan however, I can find nothing. The only thing related to car repair that I see is evidently when you have to take it in for "shaken", they just go ahead and repair anything they find wrong with it (I find this disturbing as what I've read makes it sound like I don't get a say-so in what they fix, giving those technicians a free ride to serve me an outrageous bill).
So does anyone know? Can you repair your own car by your own hands without fear of legal repercussion? If it is legal, are parts typically easily obtainable in Japan like they are here in the US?

The charge of the car check(shaken).....

Inspection expense + Repair price + Agent commission
80% of the inspection fee is a tax and an insurance.
Do you want to reduce 20% of the remainder?
