Welcome To Daddy D's Garage

Having worked in the automotive industry as a mechanic and parts man pretty much my entire life, I have found that there are a lot of little things one can do to prevent and save on vehicle maintenance. Also having a 15 year old daughter, I want to teach her and you what to expect when you have to go to a repair shop or a parts retail store.

When I was 6 months old, my dad started his repair shop. I still have memories as a young boy "helping" dad in the garage. But the most amazing thing, my mom would work side by side with my dad in the shop. She passed away when I was 13 years old. The best memory I have of her is I came home from school one day and she was sitting on top of a 1972 Chevy truck with a V8 engine and was handing the intake manifold to my dad. She went on to remove the cylinder heads and perform a complete valve job on that engine.

When I was 8, dad bought a parts store. Ever since then, I have been either a mechanic or a parts salesman. I currently am employed at a major parts retail chain. Every day I have people come in to buy parts that do not know what they need or even what vehicle they need parts for. It is my hope that I can educate people on what to expect, what information they need to have, and what questions they need to ask when they have to take their vehicle to a repair shop or visit a parts store to purchase parts to do the job yourself.

Feel free to ask questions. I will answer them to the best of my ability. If I am not sure, I will find out and make sure you get the correct information.

Thank you for visiting. Have a blessed day.
