I have a few neighbors nearby. None of them do their own maintenance. I do our cars and bikes, and the kids bring theirs by for me to do when it's time. I have my tools from my car repair days, and a lift which makes things much easier.
No HOA to deal with. But the garage can't be seen from the public road anyway.
I should add that our few neighbors are friends, and have told me that they don't work on their cars. To their credit, none have ever asked me to do their maintenance.
Now I do know a guy about a mile away, he does all of his own maintenace. He's a Dentist who is obsessed with his Miata race cars, FZJ 80 Landcruisers, and Kirkham 427 Cobra.
