Thanks for visiting my blog! My name
is Sam. I have been wanting to start a blog for a while now. I
always use the internet, but I want to contribute to it, too! After
a lot of thinking, I finally decided that I am a near expert on the
topic of oil changes and basic vehicle maintenance. If I have
anything to share with the world, this is it!

| That's Me! Nice Ride, Huh? |
I took most of the industrial
technology/shop classes offered by my high school (some were Wood
Working, Metal Working, Graphic Design, Agricultural Mechanics, and
Automotive Mechanics). I loved them all, they were what I would do
in my free time, so I knew this was the career path for me.
Upon high school graduation, I chose
to go to a local college for Automotive Technology. I had to do
something during summer until classes started in the fall, so I got a
job at a Chevrolet dealership as a Lube Rack Tech. My job was to do
oil changes, replace engine air filters, cabin air filters,
windshield wiper blades, light bulbs, tires, and any other basic
maintenance type work that needed to be done. I did that job for 3
months and I learned so much!
School started and I moved to the city
in which the school is located. I got a job after school and on
weekends doing basically the same thing at another Chevrolet
dealership. I got the opportunity to work with even more
professional mechanics and learn tips and tricks from the old dogs in
the shop. I went to school and learned all of the systems and parts
of automobiles, and graduated with a technical diploma in Automotive
Technology! Even after graduation I continued to work where I was
working, increasing my hours and making more money. I worked there
for over two years.
After, I moved back to where my first
job was, and got a job as a full-time mechanic. I got a chance to
use all of what I learned in school on real cars for real people! I
also got a lot more experience with what I was already comfortable
with, as well as a chance to work outside of my comfort zone.
I started to research blogging and
decided that it's something I am interested in doing. I want to
create something useful for people. I want to help people save money
by letting them know how to maintain their own vehicles. If anyone
is qualified to talk about vehicle maintenance, it is me, I've been
doing it for almost 5 years!
My aim here is to help people, so if
you have any questions at all, please comment and I'll get back to
you as soon as possible.
