Honestly, all my "skills" were learned by simply jumping in, and doing it.
Generally, you can't mess anything up worse than it already is, so at the worst you learn something.
I look at some of the morons, and ner'-do-wells that come to the house to fix stuff, and i figure I am smarter than they are. Most mechanics now a days are mere parts changers. A real mechanic is a rare jewel.
The reason I started working on my on vehicle, was when I did the math, and added up parts, and labor, i found out I for a tune up, I could replace plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotate tire, change the oil, belts, and buy a bunch of other wear, and tear parts for less than I could get a tuneup.
Brakes jobs are so easy, after you do a few, i am not sure why anyone has it done by a mechanic
When I bought my old Miata, it needed a water pump, and timing belt, seals, which is a 700-1000 dollar job, the kit for it cost 100 bucks, and i found a step by step You tube video, that showed me the step by step process....6 hours later.. done.
Jump in and try it sometime.
