Tech Tips

Join Now to gain access to hundreds of pages of Tech Tips written by Chris Obert, the mechanical expert behind C. Obert & Company.

Chris restored his first Fiat 500 back when he was 14 years old. Since then he's serviced every model Fiat ever imported, most Lancia Betas, the short-lived Yugos, and become a nationally- recognized expert on Fiat-Abarths. Though he closed his full-service repair shop some years back, he still works on these cars doing everything from maintenance to restorations.

These Tech Tips have been compiled in Obert's Fiat Guide (published March 2005)
