I want to be able to go on GearheadWiki.com and find anything I would ever want to know about any car.  If I don’t know how to do something on my car…it should be on GW.  If I don’t know the torque spec on the main cap of the engine I’m working on…it should be on GW.  If I can’t remember what year Bentley started…it should be on GW.


I want GW to be more than just the Wikipedia of the car world, I want it to be a complete repair manual/parts guide/encyclopedia for every make and model ever made.

Welcome to Gearhead Wiki,
Open Source Automotive Info
10,053 pages and 100,944 uploaded files
  Welcome!
Gearhead Wiki is a place for everything automotive. Think Wikipedia but for cars. Wikipedia doesn't allow a lot of information that would be useful to a gearhead like repair manuals, modification info, car celebrities, etc. that don't meet Wikipedia guidelines.

Jump in, be bold. See something you can improve? Just hit edit and do it. This is a place to dump your gearhead knowledge. The only rule about content is that it has to be gearhead related. That's it!

  Automotive Present
You want information about your car right now? We got it! This is the biggest project on Gearhead Wiki right now. A free repair manual for every car ever made. Check out what is available so far. Do you have car knowledge you can share? Add it yourself and make the knowledge available to other gearheads around the globe.
  Automotive History
The automotive past is slowly fading away but we don't want to lose anything! Do you have old car brochures, owner's manuals, or marketing material collecting dust in your garage? Put it to use by uploading it here.
  Automotive Future
Part of the car world is to always move forward. What does that look like? From automation to electrification, we want it all!
  • Automation
  • Electric Cars
  • Modern car mods
