Before going to a Mechanic … Contact Mistress Susan

Savionaires, are you tired of being taken advantage of by car dealerships and repair shops? Well, Mechanic Marv has you covered. He’s been working on cars ever since he was able to pick up his first wrench, which was given to him by his father, who was also a Mechanic Savant — no grease monkeys here!

Mechanic Marv is my personal mechanic and has more than 40 years of experience working on vehicles, from Audis to Z4 BMWs. He’s very knowledgeable about American vehicles, but he specializes in luxury and foreign brands, including Audi, BMW, Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz, Peugeot, Range Rover, and Volkswagen.

If you’re looking to buy a new car, do regular maintenance, or take your vehicle in for repairs, but you have questions, Ask Mechanic Marv.

Send your questions to [email protected] and put Ask Mechanic Marv in the subject line. Then, be on the lookout for auto advice on Mondays.
