A request by your automobile answerers?

I have asked this before, but PLEASE ask questions that automotive professionals can answer. "My car makes a funny noise" and "What happens if I do ths?" are NOT questions that we, or anyone, can answer.

This is a FREE forum. Many of your automotive problems can only be addressed by a qualified professional. That means money.

I ask you all to be specific. We, your automotive professionals, cannot even come close to an accurate diagnosis without your input.

B y the way, We do this without pay. We do this because we care. Please! Be specific.

    I agree to an extent; everybody who asks questions sound just like regular customers you see everyday, without their cars in front of us to properly diagnose.

    Yeah, some detail or giving some of us professionals a break with our input would be nice, but I like to offer the best advice and repair options to vehicle owners as I can.

    And yes, I also do this because I do care. Safety is the number one priority to me as a professional, and knowing that my customers and their loved ones are safe in their cars, is the reason why I stay in this business.

    After 30 yrs of fixing cars, I still wonder why so many people spend so much for something they know nothing about. It's not like all the answers aren't readily available in a book. All they have to do is read for God's sake. They don't have to get greasy, just be able to explain what is happening! This my car goes clunk clunk clank what's wrong with it? GEEEEEEEEE! Whizz! You can program a computer but can't even explain what you wish to know about a $20,000 piece of your equipment!
