Re: Learning about cars

I'd recommend a class if one is available in your area.

Otherwise, I'd highly suggest purchasing a quality service/repair manual for your vehicle(s). I'm not too fond of Haynes/Chiltons ones, as they don't have a whole lot of detail to them. Helms Inc. has many different manuals for many different cars, and IMO, they are the best ones. A quality service manual will tell you pretty much everything you'll need to know, from troubleshooting the problem, to fixing the problem yourself.

Of course, nothing beats real world experience. Books and classes won't teach a lot of things, but they are a good start.
