Hey there! I’m HP, the regular guy behind Wrench & Learn. Three years ago, I was just like you – staring at a repair bill that cost more than my monthly grocery budget and thinking “there has to be a better way.”
Back then, popping the hood made me nervous, and my tool collection consisted of a rusty screwdriver and some pliers from a discount store. Now? I’m no master mechanic, but I’ve saved thousands on repairs and learned that most car maintenance isn’t as scary as it seems.
This blog isn’t about showing off fancy equipment or complex repairs. It’s about learning together, making mistakes (yes, I’ve made plenty!), and gaining the confidence to tackle your own car repairs. Everything I share here comes from real experience – working on my 2007 City Golf in my cramped driveway or basic garage, usually with basic tools and a lot of determination.
What you’ll find here:
- Step-by-step guides written in plain English, not mechanic-speak
- Money-saving tips for DIY car maintenance
- Honest stories about what went right (and wrong)
- Beginner-friendly advice I wish I’d known when starting out
If you’re tired of feeling helpless about car repairs or just want to save some money while learning useful skills, you’re in the right place. Let’s figure this out together, one bolt at a time.
