You want your car to last. But where do you start?

You count on your car every day. Taking care of it shouldn’t feel like a guessing game—or require a mechanic’s knowledge. I wrote Before Your Car Breaks to help you understand what deserves your attention, why it matters, and how staying on top of it can help reduce the risk of costly, unexpected repairs. If you’ve ever thought, “Just explain this in a way I can understand,” I wrote this with you in mind!

You don’t have to know cars to take better care of yours.

Know where to start. Understand which maintenance deserves your attention—and why it matters to the car you depend on.

Make your maintenance dollars count. Learn how caring for your car today can help you avoid bigger expenses down the road.

Keep track without feeling overwhelmed. Use simple schedules and a maintenance log to turn “I should probably check that” into a plan you can follow.

Hi, I'm Omar.

When you depend on your car, an unexpected repair can throw more than your schedule off—it can throw your budget off, too. And when you don’t know much about maintenance, even figuring out where to begin can feel overwhelming. That’s who I had in mind when I wrote Before Your Car Breaks.

I want you to feel comfortable opening this book even if you know next to nothing about cars. We’ll take it one step at a time, with plain-language explanations and practical steps you can use. I’m glad you found your way here, and I can’t wait to share it with you!
