About this site
Metro Torque & Tune is an independent workshop journal for people who want to understand their cars and learn to maintain them with confidence — written for real beginners, not for an algorithm.
Why it exists
Most car advice online falls into two camps: forum threads with no context, or thin articles that repeat the same hundred words everyone else has published. This site is an attempt at a third thing — guides long enough to actually teach the job, written by one person who does the work, with the safety steps left in rather than glossed over.
The principle behind everything here is straightforward: the content is the product. The site is reader-first. Where a job is genuinely better left to a professional, we say so plainly rather than encouraging you to attempt something risky.
Who writes it
Every article is written and maintained by Harlin David Orozco Araujo, who is hands-on with the jobs covered here. Articles carry a visible byline and a "last updated" date so you always know who stands behind the advice and how current it is.
How the guides are written
We explain how things work before how to fix them, because understanding the why makes every repair safer and more reliable. We use plain English, define terms as they come up, and lean on the manufacturer's own figures for anything specific — torque settings, oil grades and service intervals always come from your vehicle's manual, never from a generic number. Our full approach is set out in our editorial policy.
What we don't do
We don't publish copied or spun content, we don't pad articles with filler, and we keep advertising minimal and clearly separated from the writing. The guides have to stand on their own merits.
