For automotive enthusiasts and do-it-yourselfers the garage is not just a place to store your car. It’s a place to take care of it, repair it, or modify to your heart’s content.
Your garage becomes a playground for the mechanic in you to get your hands greasy as you work on oil changes, engine repairs, or even just cleaning & detailing.
If car culture and auto repair are your passion, you no doubt have an area of your garage stocked with tools, repair manuals, and posters of your dream machines. You may also have a few favourite websites that you check up on daily to stay informed, troubleshoot, or learn new tricks.
If you’re looking for more of the top automotive and car repair websites or need somewhere to start, we’ve collected a list of 9 blogs perfect for all you DIY mechanics and enthusiasts alike!
