I’ve been working on cars for over 35 years.
I’m an ASE-Certified Master Technician, and I’ve spent most of my life diagnosing and repairing vehicles—starting right out of high school and continuing ever since.
But this site isn’t about me.
It’s about helping you understand your car—and avoiding unnecessary repairs.

My Story
|
Hi, I’m Eddie Carrara, the creator of Simple-Car-Answers.com. I started in the automotive repair industry in the mid-1980s, learning hands-on in real shops and building my skills through experience, problem-solving, and working alongside some of the best technicians in the field. While I’ve had formal training—like time spent at the Honda Training Center in Windsor Locks, Connecticut—most of what I know comes from years of doing the work. Over time, I started noticing something that didn’t sit right with me. |

Why I Created This Site
I saw too many customers being:
- Sold repairs they didn’t need
- Charged for OEM parts but given cheaper alternatives
- Misled by confusing or dishonest explanations
In some shops, upselling unnecessary work wasn’t just encouraged—it was expected.
That never felt right to me.
So I built Simple Car Answers to be the opposite of that.

About the Articles
Some of the articles on this site have been around for years—and that’s actually a good thing.
The fundamentals of automotive repair don’t change nearly as fast as people think.
A vibration is still a vibration.
A fluid leak is still a fluid leak.
A bad bearing still makes noise.
That means the information in many of these guides is still just as useful today as when it was written.
I focus on real-world problems and proven solutions, so whether you're new to car repair or have some experience, you’ll find information here that actually helps.
My Goal
My goal is simple:
Help you understand your vehicle and save money by avoiding unnecessary repairs.
