As we developed this site, we created three resource pages for drivers. They aren’t necessarily related any other way, so we’ve consolidated them here.

These page are:

The first is pretty self explanatory. We put together a complete list of Roadside Assistance phone numbers from manufacturers, insurers, clubs, etc.

The second will lead you to electronic copies of Owners Manuals. The vast majority are free, and only a few manufacturers require registration.

Our Acronyms page spells out the meaning of an acronym as it applies to your car and links to a post if it is associated with a Text warning light.

Remember that only proper service and repair procedures will ensure the safe and reliable operation of your car. In addition, proper safety procedures and precautions, such as the  use of safety goggles, the right tools and the equipment should be followed at all times to eliminate the possibility of personal injury or improper service which could damage the vehicle or compromise its safety.

These posts are for information sharing purposes only, and should not be used in lieu of an OEM service manual or factory authorized service procedure. We are not in the auto repair business nor do we publish automotive service manuals. Nothing we include on these pages and posts has been reviewed, approved or authorized by any vehicle manufacturer.

Technology is always changing and what is current and accurate today may be literally out-of-date and inaccurate tomorrow. And when it comes to the current state of flux in the auto industry, nothing is more true.
