Site guide
Advertising Policy
Car Fix Wise is built as an educational automotive troubleshooting library. Advertising, if enabled, should support the site without changing diagnostic guidance.
Editorial Independence
- Repair guidance should not be written to promote a specific advertiser, product seller, repair shop, or part brand.
- A symptom or OBD-II guide should explain likely causes and safe next steps even when no paid product is involved.
- Advertising relationships should not decide which diagnosis is recommended or which safety warning appears.
Ad Placement Principles
- Ads should not block core diagnostic steps, safety warnings, navigation, or mechanic handoff information.
- Ads should be distinguishable from editorial content.
- The site should not encourage users to click ads or imply that ad clicks are part of diagnosis or repair.
Affiliate And Sponsored Content
- If affiliate links or sponsored content are added later, they should be clearly disclosed.
- Sponsored material should be labeled and should not replace the site's normal editorial standards.
- Product recommendations, if ever added, should be based on usefulness, safety, and fit for the reader's task rather than advertising payout alone.
