Auto repair online
In my opinion the best way to avoid auto repair scams is to fix your own car. I have put together a page for driveway mechanics and automotive consumers that includes a how to do it yourself video and explains in detail all about online car repair diagrams.
My name is Mark and this page is about your right to know the truth about the auto service business. Keep in mind that this information and the linked stories are just my jaded opinions.
I also share the funny auto mechanic video and stories pulled from my book about the getting a car repaired subject. I meant well when I wrote the guide to auto service. It was created to help protect consumers from common rip-offs and scams that happen in the car business.
There are honest shops out there! The online auto repair guide is now $0.00 and I hope it helps you find them. The reasons I wrote the book, samples and the download link are to follow. I get a lot of email saying they can't find the book. It's about 2 scrolls down! The link says "my guide to the auto repair business".
A contact box is below but it gets spammed hard. Just look further down you'll find it, and the book (PDF File) pops up in a new window. Or read the important stories from this page. I updated some of them for your reading pleasure.

This is a very funny video about what a customer and an auto mechanic
might say to each other if they just had a dose of truth serum!
