WELCOME EVERYONE
As a rule of thumb I always ask how much people want to know about the repair or cause of damage. I use diagrams, pictures, videos and diagnostic reports to aid with understanding the damage, fault and recommendations needed. Another question is How much understanding of car repair or car mechanics do you know? Is not about knowing or not knowing but it’s about being able to properly communicate the damage or current state of the vehicle. With that in mind - how much do you know about cars 1-5. 5 being able to distinguish between the need of a rubber gasket, composite, metal or RTV and the difference amongst them. 1 being how to drive the car and put gas ⛽️. No wrong answers :)

I'm new here πŸ‘‹πŸΎ I'm actually from New Zealand so some things may be different. I would say I am about a 2 - I can comfortably do the basics of how to check fluids, change a tyre, change brake pads and bleed brakes, change spark plugs, everything radiator from removal to flushing and refilling with coolant. I just helped a girl yesterday on replacing an ignition coil with zero experience on a 2007 Holden Commodore VE 3.6L V6. No idea what we were doing but I followed a YouTube video to change 1 ignition coil that she apparently needed replacing from disconnection wires, air intake and manifold off to connecting it all back together again. I need more guidance and help. There was nothing I could do to tell her the exact problem as she just wanted to be correct about her car and not the car itself. These cars which I've had experience with 2 often have O2 sensor problems and timing chain problems especially when not properly taken care of but I'm not a mechanic I'm just speaking from experience.
