Mr Auto Fixer

Real fixes.
No nonsense.

Step-by-step repair guides from a working UK mechanic, filmed on real jobs in a real workshop. Free to read.

Every guide starts here.

Real cars, real faults, written up the way I would explain it to a mate.

Garage prices keep going up, and too many people pay for work they could do themselves with the right guidance. So I write down the jobs I do, step by step, in plain English.

Watch the job.
Then do it yourself.

Filmed on real cars as they came in. Every video has a written guide with the parts, the torque figures and the bits the video skips.

The mechanic behind the site

Real experience.
Real fixes.

I have been working as a professional mechanic for over 20 years. I am a qualified MOT tester and have worked on everything from everyday hatchbacks to heavy commercial vans. If it has an engine, I have probably had it apart.

Every guide on this site comes from a job I have actually done, not from theory.
