Disclosure Policy

Founded in 2017, Herwigs Garage Sale is your no-nonsense hub for DIY mechanics and budget car buyers who want to breathe new life into overlooked auto parts. We specialize in turning garage-sale finds into documented, step-by-step builds—because sometimes the best deals are hiding in someone’s driveway. Our mission? To help you save money without sacrificing quality, with real talk about what works, what doesn’t, and how to spot a steal.

We’re proud to partner with trusted retailers like AutoZone, eBay Motors, and RockAuto to bring you the tools and parts you need. When you click through our affiliate links, we may earn a commission—but rest assured, every recommendation is rooted in our own hands-on experience. We’re not here to sell you stuff; we’re here to help you build, fix, and upgrade your ride without breaking the bank. Transparency is non-negotiable: no sponsored content, no hidden agendas, just honest reviews and deals that actually work.

As an FTC-compliant site, we’re committed to keeping you informed. If a product or service is affiliated with a brand, we’ll say so—no games, no smoke and mirrors. Our goal is to build trust, not just clicks. Whether we’re talking about a $5 alternator or a $500 engine rebuild, we document the whole process so you can see the before-and-after. That means no fake numbers, no staged photos, and no pressure to spend more than you have to.

Our content is built by mechanics for mechanics—because we know what it’s like to hunt for parts in the dead of night or spend hours diagnosing a check-engine light. We’re not here to preach perfection; we’re here to share the messy, sometimes frustrating, but always rewarding journey of fixing your own car. Got questions? Want to share your own build? Check out our Contact Us page—we’re all about keeping the conversation real.
