Response times
Tips with photos get answered first, usually the same day. Corrections with sources land within one business day. General questions take up to three days. Vague or abusive messages wait longest or go unanswered - specific notes with page URLs and evidence jump the queue every time. If we cannot help directly, we will point you to a specialist who can.
Before you write
Check the relevant guide first - eight in ten questions arrive already answered there. Include your budget, location, and must-haves for buying advice; include year, mileage, and symptoms for maintenance questions. Photos of the problem beat paragraphs describing it.
Press and manufacturers
Fleet managers: send availability windows and delivery terms, not embargo threats - we test on our schedule and publish when testing finishes. Press colleagues: embargoed news gets fair treatment when it serves readers. Advertising inquiries: we sell no sponsored placements and no ranked positions, so pitches for either are declined unread.
Quick answers
Do we buy test cars? We test press-fleet and reader cars plus occasional rentals, and nothing arrives with editorial conditions attached. Do we take guest posts? Occasionally, when a working technician or engineer has genuine findings to share - send an outline first.
A good question answered fast beats a long form every time.
