Real-world advice from 12 years at a Ford dealership

About

Hi, I’m Corie, the person behind Dad’s Garage. I spent 12 years as a service advisor at a Ford dealership. Every day I helped people decide what their car really needed and what could wait.

This site is where I share that same advice: maintenance tips, what to look for when you buy new or used, common problems with certain vehicles, and the parts and tools I’d actually use.

Have a question? Ask Dad’s Garage is where I answer the questions drivers ask most.
