Here at AutoCornerd, we adhere to strict editorial standards to ensure every piece of content we publish provides readers with accurate, up-to-date automotive advice.
Autocornerd founder, Asjad, leads a meticulous process focused on research, expert review, and reader-focused presentation. Here is an inside look at how we produce each article or guide:
1. In-Depth Topic Research
The research starts with Asjad using his 10 years of mechanical experience. He decides what readers need to know to make repairs safely.
Then, Asjad does thorough research using good sources like:
- Car company manuals – these have detailed instructions from the company.
- Aftermarket shop manuals – these add more technical details.
- Car databases – these let Asjad access diagrams, torque specs, fluid amounts and more.
- Magazines – useful to stay updated on new technologies and standards.
Asjad also talks to other master mechanics online and in person. Their real-world experience helps find gaps or mistakes in published information.
2. Detailed Topic Outline
With research complete, Asjad synthesizes the information into a comprehensive article outline. This includes:
- Logical flow covering background, step-by-step instructions, and summary.
- Insertion of relevant charts, graphs, or images to aid comprehension.
- Consideration of reader needs to ensure content is engaging yet accessible.
- Incorporation of tips and warnings based on his mechanical experience.
3. Initial Article Draft
Using the outline to guide him, Asjad writes a complete draft. He explains technical things in simple words.
He follows good rules for teaching with writing:
- Easy words and sentences
- Breaking big steps into small ones
- Using examples to explain tricky things
- Lots of headers, dots, formatting to help people read fast
The goal is to sound helpful but also fun. He wants readers to keep reading!
4. Peer Review and Fact Checking
The draft is passed to a senior car mechanic who knows the topic well. They carefully check all the technical details against multiple reliable sources. Proofreading spots any unclear parts or missing info. Asjad refines the draft to help readers understand using feedback.
5. Hands-On Validation
Asjad first tries out any fixes or changes to the project vehicles himself. This helps him find things that are missing from the instructions – like tools required, safety stuff, or steps that need more explanation. He adds what he learned to the article. This way, readers have better guidance when they try the repairs.
