Car Repair

Keeping you on the road

Cars don’t last forever, but when they break down, repairs can be frustrating, time-consuming and hard on the wallet - especially if you have to deal with a mechanic who’s sleazy or dishonest.

Modern cars are more technical than ever, with computers regulating more and more of the car’s functions. This makes it trickier for you to make repairs to yourself. But it’s still worthwhile to repair the basics yourself. Most of the price you pay at a garage is going to be for labor, so if you can do it yourself you’ll save big money.

Plus if you take pride in your ride, you’ll enjoy the peace of mind that you get from working on your car personally. When you do the work, you know that there won’t be any grease on the steering wheel or inferior products installed on your car. Whether you rotate your own tires or change your own oil and sparkplugs, you can feel good knowing work is done exactly the way you want.

The articles in this section can take you from a novice to a seasoned pro when it comes to understanding what’s going on under your car’s hood. Learn how to prevent (or at least put off) car repairs by caring for your engine, guarding against rust and changing your brake pads. And, for those times when big repairs do come up, we’ve got tips on how to choose the right auto body repair shop and how to make sure you get the most out of your windshield repair.

It’s unavoidable: your car will need repairs at some point. If you take the time now to learn the basics of car repair, you can drive with the knowledge that when something does go wrong, you’ll be in a position to get it fixed quickly and correctly, putting you back on the road in no time. Your car belongs on the road and with a little help you can learn how to keep it there.
