Join Sparky’s Answers

An Ask Sparky Account is FREE and allows you to use the Ask A Question tool. It only takes a few minutes to create your username, password and enter an email address in the form below or use your social media account to join! The main reason for this step is to reduce the level of spam and junk messages. If you were to look at some older articles and their discussions sections you will notice that I make sure that the discussions stay on point by filtering out spam. It is a manual process and takes time away from repairing vehicles, writing articles, improving this site and life in general.

Remember an Ask Sparky membership is Free and Simple using the form below. Don’t worry you will not be bombarded with emails and your information will not be shared.
