QUESTION ABOUT CAR REPAIR?
Saturday, February 2nd, 2008In the comment space below you can write your car repair question and it will get to me via the internet. Wonderful, huh?
When I get your car or truck repair question I will answer it directly to your email. I may select your question for publication and provide an answer for all to see. If you have a car concern, it is likely that others do too, so let’s spread the word, okay?
When you ask a car question, please include this information as possible: year, make, and model of vehicle; miles on vehicle; engine and transmission info, two or four wheel drive; complete description of concern, (like when it occurs, sitting still or driving, under acceleration or coasting or braking, on turns, when cold or hot, only at startup or all the time, every time I drive or intermittant or seldom or once, and so on); previous repairs in this area. The more information the better.
Try to not get flustered. If you know any mechanics, you may have observed that they are usually pretty calm individuals. Hotheads who fly off the handle when frustrated do not last long in this business. It is too stressful. When things get tough, take a break, get some coffee or go talk to someone on a different topic. Take a deep breath, think of a fun vacation you had, then go back to the task. A few minutes away will often yield a fresh perspective or new idea and get you back on track.
Though I have many years of car repair experience, I do not know all. Where I lack information, I will call friends in the business or direct you to a source that might help. The important thing is to relax and have fun. It is probably not the end of the world. I will submit a sample question to get you started.
