Built by Christian Zimmerman
After more than 25 years in the automotive service industry, with 15 years of military service behind me — watching smart, capable people make expensive decisions with bad information — I built My Everyday Driver to fix that. No commissions on repair work. No kickbacks per customer sent. No sales pressure. My recommendation to you is never tied to what you spend at the shop. Just honest answers about your specific situation, before the money changes hands.
