I'm an experienced mechanic and have worked with and around cars for over 30 years.
Thanks for coming to my site. In case we haven’t met yet, I’m Kevin and I just love passing on my 30 + years of experience repairing and maintaining cars.
I’ve made this site for non-technical drivers who are experiencing problems with their cars.
I want to help you identify what part is causing the issue you’re experiencing, the fixes you can perform yourself, or the likely costs of getting it fixed at a car shop. I’ll use plain language and won’t baffle you with technical talk
