About AutoFixr

AutoFixr is a small, research-first website that helps US drivers take care of their own cars. We write step-by-step car maintenance guides in plain English, for people who have never opened a hood before and for drivers who just want a clear answer fast.

Our mission is simple: make basic car care feel doable. A five-minute oil check, a safe jump start, a flat tire change, and a warning light you actually understand can save you hundreds of dollars and a lot of stress. You should not need a mechanic's vocabulary to do any of that.

How we work

Every guide starts with the sources, not with an opinion. We read the vehicle owner's manual guidance, manufacturer service information, and trusted independent sources such as Consumer Reports and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) before we write a single step. Then we test the steps for clarity: can a first-time driver follow them in order, with the tools we list, in the time we promise?

We write for US drivers, using US spelling, US units such as miles, quarts, and PSI, and US costs in dollars. When a job varies by car model, we say so and tell you to check your owner's manual for the exact spec.

No fake experts

We do not invent mechanic credentials, and we do not pretend to be your mechanic. Our guides are written and reviewed by the AutoFixr Editorial Team, and our Editorial Policy explains exactly how we research, check facts, and correct mistakes. When a job is dangerous, needs special tools, or could damage your car, we say so and tell you to call a licensed professional.

What we will not do

We will not tell you to skip a safety step to save time. We will not recommend a part or a product we have not checked. And we will not publish a guide that we would not follow ourselves on our own cars.
