Cars are the vehicles through which we perceive the world and are seen by the world. Cars are the expression of who we are while we are in transit—out in the world commuting to work or having fun on the weekend—second only to our houses in terms of value. They’re also the most intimate relationship most people ever have with a machine. We imagine movement, and the car puts that idea, that impulse, into motion. The car takes on the role of an extension of ourselves.

Has the notion ever occurred to you, ‘What should I do to my automobile to make it run better?’ or are you afraid to go under the hood and face the beast that carries you down life’s highway? You’ve come to the right place. Car maintenance does not have to be a frightening secret because cars operate on simple principles. If you know how they do their magic, you can control them better. 

This Car Mechanic Training course is intended to give you a good look under the hood, showing you how things work—and what to do when they don’t. Starting now, you will never be frightened by your car—or your mechanic—again.

It’s a course designed to give you the foundational knowledge you’ll need to service your own automobile and spot when it’s not being serviced properly.
