Automotive Repair and Maintenance Guide

Hi , my name is Jim Monroe and If you have automotive questions, you'll find the answers in my blog. When I was growing up, my family lived next door to an automotive repair shop. In my free time, I would go to the shop and watch the mechanics work. I was very inquisitive and although I'm sure the mechanics got tired of answering all my questions, they would always explain everything to me. When I got older, I went to work at the automotive repair shop after school and on the weekends. To this day, I'm thankful for the knowledge I learned while at the shop. Whenever I need to do maintenance or a repair on my vehicle, I can do it myself and save money. I wanted to write this blog so that I could share the automotive information I learned with other people.
