Finding repair information shouldn’t be this hard
If you own a classic car, you know the feeling. You notice a new smell, a small leak on the garage floor, or a sound that wasn’t there last weekend. What should be a simple fix turns into hours digging through old forum threads, bouncing between YouTube videos, and opening tab after tab looking for the one detail that actually applies to your car.
Ten tabs later, you’re still not sure where to start.
That’s the real problem. Fixing a car usually isn’t the hard part. Finding clear, trustworthy repair information is. The internet gives you endless answers, but not a clear next step. That oil smell could be a valve cover leak, a PCV issue, a clogged breather, or something dripping onto the exhaust. And the video that looks promising skips the exact step you’re stuck on.
For classic and enthusiast car owners, it’s even harder. Information is scattered, inconsistent, or buried in old threads. Sometimes the person explaining it assumes you already know three steps they never mention.
We thought there should be a better way.
That’s why we built Orion – the master mechanic in your pocket – to help you figure out what’s wrong and walk you through how to fix it.
