Can you promote in r/carproblems?
Please can you include details that are applicable; Make, Model, Fuel type, Saloon/estate, Year, RH/ LH Drive & anything that may be of use! Hi I am the Mod "Paul", I dont look at every post but I do look over a couple and answer when I feel I need to, But I must thank all the mechanic members for their help On this channel, I do apricate it!
The short answer
Provide a helpful, non-promotional answer first (include requested vehicle details), optionally mention your product/company only briefly and transparently if it genuinely helps the asker.
What works here
- answer technical questions and troubleshooting
- ask clarifying questions and request vehicle details
- thank and acknowledge community helpers
What gets posts removed
- overt sales pitches or recruiting customers
- posting promotional links or repeatedly advertising a product
- making your reply primarily about your company rather than the help
