Frequently Asked Questions

The questions that reach Men's Wheels most, answered briefly, and the address to use when yours is not among them.

Why cover online racing games?

Good racing games model grip, weight transfer and braking well enough to help drivers understand what their car is doing.

Do car brands or garages pay for coverage?

No brand or garage has ever paid to appear in an article. A small number of links earn the site money, and every one is named in the editorial policy. Our mechanic, instructor and rider write what they would tell a friend over the bonnet.

Is this site only for men?

No. The name dates back to the original site in 2014. The advice is for anyone who drives or rides.

Are your older articles still accurate?

We have rewritten the original 2014 articles for today's cars and roads, and we update them when advice changes.

Can I do the maintenance you describe myself?

Most checks and cleaning jobs, yes. Brakes, airbags and anything structural belong with a qualified mechanic.

Can I send in a question about my car or bike?

You can, through the contact page. Include the make, model, year and what you have already checked. We cannot diagnose faults remotely, but good questions often become future articles.
