Editorial Guidelines
Chariotz publishes automotive coverage for readers who want practical help, clear context, and enthusiast-level judgment. Our goal is to make every article useful enough that a reader can make a better decision, avoid a common mistake, or understand what matters before spending money.
Who Writes Chariotz
Chariotz is led by Josh Hartley, Editor-in-Chief, and written by a team of automotive writers with category specialties across performance, customization, technology, car care, buying, accessories, classics, and events. Each article is assigned to a writer whose beat matches the subject.
You can learn more about each writer on the Chariotz team page.
How We Choose Topics
We prioritize topics that are useful to owners, shoppers, and enthusiasts:
- Maintenance, setup, and buying questions with real decision points
- Product and accessory categories where quality varies meaningfully
- New-car and technology topics that need plain-English explanation
- Modification and restoration topics where mistakes can get expensive
- Event and culture coverage that helps readers participate, not just observe
We avoid thin news rewrites, promotional copy, and articles that only exist to target a keyword without giving readers something useful.
Product Recommendations
When Chariotz mentions a product, the article should explain why it is relevant, where it fits, and who should avoid it. Product links may be affiliate links, including Amazon links. Affiliate relationships do not change the editorial standard for what belongs in an article.

Accuracy And Updates
Automotive information changes quickly. Prices, availability, product names, vehicle options, recalls, software features, and incentives can change after publication. When an article depends on current information, we update it when practical and show the updated date in article metadata.
Corrections
If you notice an error, outdated detail, or missing context, contact us through the contact page. We review correction requests against available sources and update articles when a correction is warranted.
