Keep in mind, cars are made by people are a fixed by people and since you probably are a people, you can probably fix cars. There's a TIS rip (of just the shop manual part) and that'll be your starting point for most things. Bookmark it, save it, print it and store it in a binder, just never be without it! Most things will have steps, and if you have a head at the top of your body and you follow those steps, you'll get to your problem eventually in the vast majority of cases. You'll probably need some tools along the way, but eventually you'll be fine. My last comment is because my only issue is, and promise me this, if you start trying to fix something, don't give up halfway and bring a half discombobulated mess to the poor mechanic who'll have to sort it out It's best to scope out a job and decide if you should tackle it before touching too many things, basic checks are fine but keep in mind when you're the second guy hitting an issue, sorting out the real problem from what the previous guy did can be a headache, and will add to the diag time in the end. I see a lot of dealer inventory used cars and I'm often the 2nd or 3rd guy hitting those things and man, it gets rough. |
