TechHelp Email

Once you join the network, you will begin receiving TechHelp email help requests from other members, in summary format (sent nightly). You may switch to a different format (such as receiving individual help requests as they are sent), different volume level (choices range from receiving 0 to 70 help requests per day), and choice of topics from the account settings page, once you are a member. TechHelp email is currently split up into 5 major topics (Asian, Chrysler, European, Ford, and GM), and 10 subtopics (A/C, Body, Brakes, Chassis, Driveability, Electrical, Engine, Misc., PowerTrain, and Transmission issues), providing 50 combinations for you to choose from. You can mix and match which topics you receive to focus on your specialties.

Note: Members are expected to offer help prior to asking for help, and members are limited in the number of help requests they can send each month.
