I get so many messages from people asking for advice on their car problems.
Sure, if you’re a friend and I know you, feel free to call me and ask, but if you don’t know me personally, please post all questions on the forum. I will be civil and answer personal messages but it’s not the proper way to do it.
Information shared in private messages is information lost. Share the questions and answers on the forum and people will be able to search it for years to come and your questions will help many people instead of just helping yourself.
I do what I do for free, I don’t receive any payment. I’m just trying to share knowledge the same way it was shared to me years ago.
