May of this year marked our second year of creating blogs on auto repairs and services.  We’ve covered a lot of topics, but 96 blogs later, we thought it would be a good idea to highlight the top five blog posts of all time in  one article.  The blogs are rated based on the number of views since May 14th, 2010.   And the winners are…..

1. Navigating Through the Maryland State Inspection System – With almost twice as many page views as the #2 blog post, it seems a lot of people are searching for information about Maryland Vehicle Safety Inspections.  If you need to know if and when you need to get a Maryland safety inspection as well as all the safety systems that we check out, this article gives you the basics.  Due to all the interest, we also compiled a video and brochure to help people “navigate through the system”.

3. Using Auto Diagnostic Check Sheets to Speed Your Auto Repair – We’re guessing that this is the third most popular article because a lot of our readers are trying to get some idea of exactly what’s wrong with their vehicle.  This blog article includes links to all of our six diagnostic sheets. With all the interest in the blog post, we also wrote an article with a little additional information.
