St. Paul, Minn. (PRWEB) November 9, 2009 -- Author and former car mechanic Rick Muscoplat announces the launch of his new website www.ricksfreeautorepairadvice.com. The new site is packed with over 400 free car repair articles written for the do-it-yourselfer. Each article describes the repair in easy-to-understand language and walks the reader through the easiest way to diagnose and fix their vehicle. The site also includes hard-to-find technical service bulletins (TSBs), wiring diagrams, belt diagrams, and technical tips on the best ways to perform vehicle repairs and maintenance.

Visitors can navigate the site by make-and-model, symptom, diagnostic trouble code, or vehicle system (brakes, heater, ignition, etc). A Dodge Caravan owner, for example, can search the complete list of articles pertaining to their particular vehicle. Or, if they already have a trouble code, they can go right to the trouble code section to find the code definition and the most common fix for the problem.

Site visitors can also find educational materials to learn how individual automotive system work. For example, readers can read an article on how shock absorbers work, when they should be replaced, and how to shop for new ones. Or, they can read up on how car computers work with oxygen sensors to determine the proper air/fuel mixtures. They can even get rock solid advice on how to avoid the most popular auto repair rip-offs and scams like engine flushes and injector cleaning service. One of the most popular articles is, How to shop for a brake job.

Unlike other car repair sites that advertise free advice and then ask the visitor to pay a fee for the answer, www.ricksfreeautorepairadvice.com is totally free. There is NEVER a charge to view the fix. Better yet, visitors can contact Rick directly, ask their specific question, and get the answer for their particular problem. That feature is free too.
