This shop runs on respect and logic. - If you like a certain parts brand, explain why. No promoting sales. - Respect the different skill levels. We're all here to share knowledge and learn. - Be clear, concise, and confident in your answers & questions. - Keep the topic in each respectable thread. I.E. Shop talk is for diagnoses and build threads are for builds. - Show your work - No dangerous advice Breaking these leads to a warning, then removal. A clean shop stays clean!

This is a place for people who want to understand machines, not guess at them. We believe: • Diagnostics beat parts swapping • Testing beats opinions • Skill beats brand loyalty • Thinking beats memorization In The Garage, you are expected to: • Ask better questions over time • Learn how systems actually work • Share what you test, not just what you feel • Respect the craft and the people learning it This isn’t a flex zone. This isn’t a beginner daycare. This isn’t social media. This is a shop — digital, I know — but it’s built on real-world skill. If you want shortcuts, this isn’t for you. If you want mastery, pull up a stool.
