Your car repair story

image of 1997 lincoln

This is where you can post your car repair story. This can be a problem that you are dealing with currently or just sharing a bad experience that you had in the past.

Also feel free to share any good stories about the car repair business. Note: This is not the area to post technical questions. Driveway auto mechanics can ask questions on my page about DIY auto repairs.

Site visitors will be able to read your car story see your pictures and post comments about your submission. No registration is required and you have the option to be notified of comments posted to the story by supplying your e-mail address. This is not a requirement but it is fun to see what other people have to say.

Posting your car repair story

Enter a Title first and then your thoughts in the two boxes below. You can post up to 1000 words (the more details the better). I recommend that you make the Title the year make and model of the vehicle. This will allow the search engines to index the page specific to your vehicle. Good examples are below the submission boxes.

People with the same make and model cars will be able to find your story by searching their year make and model. Often owners of a specific vehicle experience the same exact problems with repair and service of that automobile.

Just be aware it may take several days for your page that you built to be indexed by the search engines. Also people love pictures and they are very easy to add to the submission.

My personal auto repair stories

Being in the retail auto repair business for more than 25 years provides lots of material for storytelling. Below you will find a couple of stories that stuck in my mind to the point where I had to write about them.

I have worked with a lot great mechanics! I have worked with skilled ones that were more interested in money then fixing vehicles. Here is a story about these shady auto service mechanics

Sometimes a repair center will push a specific repair on their customers and reward sales known as a spiff. here is an example of one of these auto repair services.

Most of my stories are about car mechanics and things I have seen them do. This one is no different and about another auto mechanic I worked with.

Sometimes asking the right questions can prevent a horror story. This next page is about asking auto repair questions. Go from the car repair story to auto repair question
