Maintenance & Technical Writer

James Nwachukwu

James trained as an automotive technician and spent over a decade working in workshops before moving into writing. He has serviced everything from city hatchbacks to commercial trucks, and that hands-on background is the thing that most distinguishes his work from the theoretical maintenance advice that fills most automotive publications. When James says a job takes 20 minutes, it is because he has actually done it in 20 minutes, not because an instruction manual says so.
