Now the multitude of emotions wash over you like an unexpected 6-foot wave, “I knew there was something wrong when I started out”. “I told Horatio to get this fixed”. “Where is MacGyver when I need him?”! After a few moments the indignation, (or panic), subsidies and you realize you have the answer in your hand. The next more manageable wave is often, “How long will it take for the tow truck to get here?”, “will it be one of the rogue Philadelphia tow truck drivers I saw on the news the other day?”, or, “will I also have to pay for a taxi….or maybe…. can I ride with the tow truck driver and save a few bucks”?

Have you ever been scared about your beloved vehicle? You step into a garage, ask for an inspection, and in a second, you get a response that you shouldn’t drive it for another mile. The tires have failed, or the engine is about to collapse - we all have been through such scare tactics. All we wish is you didn’t give into them and stumbled across this post instead. It has everything that nobody will tell you about automotive car repair, especially your mechanic. 1. Don’t give into the scare tactics First and foremost, ignore those comments on how you shouldn’t drive another mile with your car. Your car worked pretty fine when it reached the garage.

Read this post to know which automotive repair jobs are easy and safe for DIYs. You don’t always have to rush to an auto repair service when you run into some mechanical trouble with your vehicle. Some of them can be fixed by you. Here’s the list: 1. Spark plug replacement:   It’s the easiest job to do depending on how deeply the spark plugs are located in the vehicle. Yes, they differ but you can use the owner’s manual to know more about it. All you will need to do is open the bonnet, look for spark plug wires, remove them and then use a ratchet to remove the spark plug. Check it if it needs to be replaced (black material around the plug is a good enough sign) and place a new spark plug. Then put back the spark plug wires. Always change them one by one and I would recommend you to watch some how-to videos on YouTube regarding it if you’re attempting it for the first time. 2. Car battery replacement:   Yes, it’s a pretty easy task that you can learn with help of a few ...
