About Pay it forward
I have been working on cars going on 35 years now,however i am not a licensed mechanic,but can pretty much pin point down to most problems.I started at age 15 and it came natural to me when you have 9 brother's/sister's under the same roof.I try to help as many people as possible by giving advise along with fixing cars and trucks on the side.Pay it forward-if i see a question about a vehicle and know the answer-it might save that person hundreds of dollars by answering a simple question.I find this site helpful!
