Giving Thanks ... To Me!

Tuesday December 9, 2008
Some website editors make it a point to toot their own horns on a daily basis. I've already received a few "attaboys" this holiday season, so I think I'll do a little tooting.
To Matthew Wright,
Just want to take a minute to say "Thanks!" for the great detailed instruction you provide for auto repair. I was searching online for help with minor issues and discovered your help there. I'm no mechanic, but was able to step through part replacements because of your superbly written and illustrated directions.
I have a 2006 Hyundai Sonata and will be looking for more help as time goes on. Please advise if there's anything special I should know concerning this car. Thanks for being there.
Sincerely, Mark Lawler
Mark, thanks so much. I can look at reports and readership numbers all day, but it doesn't compare to a personal note. Glad we could help! As for your Hyundai, the best advice I can give is to keep up with your maintenance! Oil changes are hugely important. Don't skip servicing your car, it'll cost you money and can really shorten the life of your car! Keep it up.

Being an automotive journalist myself, I know how nice it is to finally hear that someone loyally reads and looks forward to your work. I just heard that from a friend of mine who was telling me that he looks forward to my column every month.
