Fix It Yourself?

A lot of people have asked us if we could provide information videos or have some sort of workshops to help people be more knowledgeable about their cars and learn how they can fix basic and more advanced problems themselves.  We are happy to do that in the future, but we thought we would just put together a little explanation of why that might be a little dangerous.

Let’s take the example of a dead car battery that needs a jump start.  In that case, you need to have access to jumper cables.  If you have jumper cables, you need to know which end up to latch onto which node.  If you don’t do it correctly, really bad things can happen.  Your engine can basically blow up if you do this, and then you’ll have to pay a lot more money than you would have if you had just called an expert to do it for you.  The point of this story is to show you how dangerous and costly it can be if you try to fix car issues yourself.  While it can be good to know basic information about your car and what to do if it breaks down, it can also be very costly.

Another example is fixing a flat tire.  If you don’t exactly know what you’re doing, you can really mess things up, and you can get really frustrated and spend an hour just messing around.  It would be well worth your time to just call experts like us to come out to your location and fix the situation for you.

Our overall advice is to give us a call if you are not 100% sure and experienced with what you are trying to do.  There is some harm that can be done if you mess up, so don’t put yourself in that position and let the experts take over.
