About Me

Anyone Can Learn More About Auto Mechanics

After losing my job, I found myself struggling when my car broke down and I didn't have any money to take it to the mechanic. After a bit of investigating, I determined that my water pump was the source of my problems and decided that I would replace it on my own. I'll admit, this first attempt at DIY auto repairs did not go as well as expected, but after 2 days of pulling my hair out, I finally got my new water pump installed. The sense of accomplishment I felt inspired me to learn more about auto repairs and try to tackle larger repair projects on my own.
