How do you learn about auto work? (lemmy.ml)

Hey all,

I am wondering how to learn about auto work. I am self taught in many things but this subject evades me somewhat. It seems like the kind of thing that someone would teach to you directly but most of my learning comes from self study interacting with things directly and reading texts.

My brakes are starting to make a squeaking noise when I come to a stop and as a result I have gained an interest in learning about some basic auto work.

Does anyone have any good resources where you can learn about these things in a sequential manner? That is to say, learning the most basic concepts up to the more advanced concepts?

Thanks.

As others have said, get a manual for your car if its available (typically Haynes or even a factory service manual if its cheap). Aside from this i think ChrisFix on YouTube does one of the absolute best jobs of explaining tasks such as replacing your brakes in a way that even someone without any knowledge can follow along and using basic hand tools.
