Welcome to GROUNDED GARAGE
The community for new automotive technicians, DIYers, and future shop pros.
"The journey to automotive mastery isn't paved with hypotheticals, but with hands-on understanding and passed down knowledge”
Real automotive knowledge isn't found in manuals alone — it's passed through grease-stained hands, broken parts, and hours that don't fit on a clock.
