Some people have told TrueDelta that what they’d really like to know, more than average repair rates, is which problems are especially common with a given car. This way, when shopping for a used car they would could:

• Closely inspect typical problem areas
• Check if likely repairs have already been performed

In response, TrueDelta is launching the Common Auto Repairs Database – the CARDb. Not only will this database provide helpful information about common problems all in one spot, but it will include links to forum discussions where you can learn additional details.

Initially there won’t be many entries. But we’ll get there! If you’re aware of common problems with your car, please log in and enter them.

For examples of entries, visit the page for the Infiniti G35.

Finally, if you have any suggestions for improvements, please post them. This section is brand new, and I expect to keep improving and expanding it over time.
