Lauren Fix on Wiper blades




This week we have what I call the "Kim Komando" of the automotive world Lauren Fix, here to tell us a little bit about Wiper Blades. It's a bit different then having Pat Goss from motorweek!

Lauren Fix is a Buffalo, New York based journalist and a former race car driver, and was one of the co-hosts Talk 2 DIY Automotive on DIY, providing demonstrations and tips for auto repair.


From what I gathered Fix is her real last name and she is often called "The Car Coach" .The picture above is taken from her book she recently wrote.
