      My father taught me but I was an impatient little shit and didn't pay attention. Now that I'm 24 with a full-time job and own my first brand-new car I realize I fucking love cars. Now I have to relearn all this. Pay attention to your parents, kids.

    Just in case you guys didn't know, you can actually take apart the basic parts of a manual transmission car in a video game called Car Mechanic Simulator. It's available on several platforms and is a great way to visually see the assembly of a car's brake system, suspension system, and of course engine (several types, including V4, V8, SOHC and DOHC). Careful though - it's addicting.

    You should make a video explaining general automobile parts, like what they are used for and what their purpose is in a vehicle. I recently got a job at NAPA Auto Parts and I only have basic knowledge about cars. I've been trying to find information about more complex auto parts and shit like that, and you're the only person on youtube that actually knows what they're talking about. If you could help me, that would be incredible.

      G Snake Charmer Some of us want to make sure it is something we are sure we can learn before we start putting money into classes. (Unless you meant like high school classes on mechanics, which my school didn't have when I went.)

    • @uppal123g
      @uppal123g 9 років тому +2

      nah the only thing you realize after a while is learning to decipher something... become the master of problem solving... its a life skill.. i mean like forcing your self to learn...what's gone go wrong? you going to learn to much ?money into classes gives you some sort of recognition in this beautiful country.

    • @xinic5
      @xinic5 9 років тому +28

      money into classes can also give you the glory of debt, and money that could have been spent elsewhere if mechanics is simply not your thing.....

      You guys don’t need a dad or a dad that knows about cars to be a young car enthusiast. I’m one myself and my did could give 3 less shits about cars and I’m just totally in love with them! Anyone who has true and committed love for a vehicle will find out ways around a problem and that’s something y’all gotta do. I’m taking automotive class to inform myself better and i was surprised on how much information I knew. That class is my easiest class and I did it without help just my own research and looking into cars online and watching some car enthusiast channels and it takes a long time but car knowledge honestly comes with time it doesn’t just come in a second there’s a lot to learn about automotive industry. Wish you all the best of luck

I'm a freshman and have only taken autos one and I only know a few things about the engine so I'm just fixing the interior of the cars but they all take advanced autos and know exactly how to fix the problems. I'm trying to learn the components of the car so I can help them figure out whats going on or whatever may be happening on my own and this video is helping out a lot! Thank you very much!

    Thank you so much for these videos! I've always loved cars since I was a small child in the 70's drooling over muscle cars. I always wanted to be an auto mechanic and work on cars, but since I'm a girl my family basically freaked out and did an, "over my dead body" on me so I wasn't allowed to further explore that interest. I am now 44 and still love cars and dream of being able to work on them. Thank you so much for making these videos so people like me can learn. :)

    Great video. I've been working on my own cars for a little while but didn't know some of the names of parts so this is great. So far have done shocks, breaks, wheel bearings, and other general maintenance and not only do I have fun doing it but have saved my family $1000's since I've learned more about cars. This is possibly the greatest use of UA-cam is diy home repairs/car repairs. Knowledge is power.

    My training at Midas was basically look for any dash lights, check the fluids and make sure they are full, test battery, check air filter, check hoses.Then lift it and check the suspension and tire tread/wear, then check the brakes, then look for any leaks / look at exhaust. And then proceed with whatever the customer needs. (Oil change, brakes, tires, battery, etc.)

    I'm 16, trying to learn how to drive, and with that, I'm also interested in learning how cars work and maybe even learning enough about mechanics to fix my own (future) car if needed. I'm glad there's videos like this out there, I have a bunch of different videos lined up in a playlist to help get even at least the gist of things but I'm not expecting to become a prodigy overnight lol. Hopefully, despite this video being made in 2012 watching this and some other videos along with help from friends and family over time, I can acquire some knowledge in mechanics, I did the same thing with guns but even then I'm far from a master or gunsmith lol. Thanks for the video, I'm hoping I can learn from this, as one of your commenters said: "I really appreciate people like this who put their knowledge and years of experience out on to youtube so we can all learn from one another" -Josh Qaszq.

    I was captivated for the entire 36 minutes and tried my best to keep up with your rapid but clear descriptive modulated exciting speech. (I will rewatch and pause and be ready for pop quiz!) Seriously, Thank you so much. Like the rest of your audience here- We feel better after watching and learning. After so many years of driving and not knowing the basics (too embarrassed to say how many) I am no longer afraid to look under the hood :o) Thanks for the links for more auto knowledge.

    Wow, 36 minutes of basic run-down of the inside of a car and I went out to take a look inside my car and I was able to identify all the major parts under the hood. Fantastic video, wish they still offered star ratings. Easy 5.

    Great video, very informative! I had always wondered the official name for that shelf behind the rear seats. In my family we always called it a "laughing place." Apparently, back in the days before modern auto safety standards, when my mom and/or her brother would get bored on long road trips, they would lay across that shelf and my grandpa would tell them jokes, so... laughing place. I still call it that sometimes and my wife looks at me like I'm insane lol

    Man, as a foreign language speaker, I really want to thank you so very much for this video.
    My main language is Portuguese and there is a lot (I mean *A LOT*) of information here on UA-cam about car repair and maintenance, but one hat to understand the names for the parts of the car in the first place, so this is quite a precious "tool."
    So once again, thank you so very much for this and accept my greetings from Portugal.

    Same here in the USA - all cars except mail carriers are LHD. But some vehicles are designed to be either config depending on where they are sold, so all parts are described as 'left' or 'right' to avoid confusion. Either works, but it is safest to stick with the convention used in the industry.
