Fixing Up Your Car

When I realized that my car was having more and more problems, it occurred to me that the repairs might be expensive. To ward off a financial disaster, I decided to start learning a little more about fixing up my own ride. I read a few books and asked my dad for help, and it was awesome to learn a little more about what made cars tick.

Check out these articles to find out how to repair small problems, and when you should get help from a professional.
