Q&A
WHAT IS MOTORMONK?
MotorMonk is an online platform where mechanically-inclined minds post interactive "How-To"s specific to make and model. Did you recently upgrade the turbo of your WRX? Want to show how to do an oil change on your Civic? Don't be shy: share your experience!
WHY DID YOU START MOTORMONK?
MotorMonk grew out of Andrew frustrations with rising car expenses and the internet's lack of relevant, well-written DIYs.
We knew the content was available, but hard to find due to the fragmentation of online car communities. So, in 2010 we began to bridge the gap by creating an organized source where community-created DIYs become accessible and centralized (did we mention this is all free?).
WHAT DOES DIY MEAN?
Do it Yourself!
HOW DO I GET INVOLVED?!
Getting started is so easy, even a (grease) monkey could do it!
Just sign up and submit your first DIY or Community Blog post . Take the video tour to explore all the features MotorMonk has to offer.

I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE DIY I'M WORKING ON! WHO CAN HELP ME FIGURE THIS THING OUT?!
Check out the "HELP!" forum. Our community of experts are always eager to jump in with some guidance and help you sort things out. Your questions and feedback help us improve the DIYs, and create discussion pages that might just help another user like you down the "road."
I THOUGHT THIS WAS A DIY SITE, WHAT'S WITH THE COMMUNITY BLOGS?
In addition to creating a DIY space, we also provide blogs where users can show feature cars, events they've attended, or anything else they want. The community blog is entirely dedicated to what you're up to - as long as it's car-related and awesome. Don't worry--it's not bragging if it's encouraged!
