I’m Eric Gourley, the founder and chief writer behind CarSpareTips.com.
Cars have been my passion for as long as I can remember — from tinkering with engines in my dad’s garage to helping friends and neighbors troubleshoot their vehicles. I’ve learned that car care doesn’t have to be complicated, and that’s exactly why I started this site.
With more than a decade of hands-on experience in automotive maintenance, repairs, and vehicle customization, I’ve made it my mission to share practical, easy-to-follow tips that anyone can use — whether you’re a seasoned car enthusiast or just starting to learn the basics.
My Mission
At CarSpareTips.com, my goal is simple:
✅ Make car maintenance less intimidating
✅ Share budget-friendly solutions that actually work
✅ Help you protect your investment and keep your ride looking and running great
I write every article with the mindset that the person reading it might be fixing their car for the first time. That means clear instructions, honest recommendations, and no unnecessary jargon.
Why Trust My Advice?
- Hands-on Experience: Years of working on everything from classic cars to modern SUVs
- Research-Driven: Every tip is backed by credible sources and tested methods
- USA-Focused Content: All advice is tailored for the needs of American drivers
