Hi, I’m Dave, thanks for dropping by my blog! I set up this site because I wanted to share some tips to help auto owners look after their cars. I grew up in a family of mechanics – one of my first memories is of handing tools to my Dad while he worked on the family car. While I chose a different career path to the rest of the family, my Dad made sure that I knew how to look after my car, giving me the skills to master basic maintenance and mechanics and the knowledge to know when I need expert help. This has saved me a bucket load of money over the years – thanks Dad! – and I’d like to share some of my knowledge with car owners who want to learn more about basic mechanics and maintenance.
