Automotive 101: A Beginners Guide To Automotive Repair

This video is a basic safety overview. This video will explain safety as it pertains to the automotive field and what concepts the student should be familiar with. This will also provide information on what safety equipment to have in the shop to begin working and learning about automobiles.

This video is an overview and break down of the tools that are used in the automotive field and the safety to be observed while using them as well. This will give specific tools that are utilized as well as how they are utilized in the automotive repair industry and what not to practice with tools as well.

This is a basic overview of the engine and an explanation of the inter-workings.This will include the pistons and valves and how they all work together to make the motion of the four stroke engine.

This will explain the basic concepts of the battery as well as the charging system and an overview of the starting system. This will break down the components of these systems to a basic level and explain how they all connect and work together to charge and/or start the vehicle.

This video will break down the rear differential and give a basic understanding of the axle and its housing. This will also explain each component in the rear differential and how each gear connects with one another to produce torque and power the vehicle down the road.

This is an analysis of the driveshaft and how it connects to the rear differential. This component will also be broken down to its individual parts and explained what each parts purpose is in the vehicles motion and propelling it down the road.

This is the first part of the automatic transmission disassembly and explanation of the internal components.This video will break down the transmission for the student to its individual parts to help better understand how it works to shift gears and connects to the engine.

This is the second part of the automatic transmission disassembly and explanation of the internal components. This will give an overview of how each component connects with one another as well as the break down of each gear being shifted through to show the internal workings of the gear mechanism.

This is a basic overview of the internal workings of the manual transmission. This video will show how the manual transmission differs from the automatic transmission but also how they are similar in their basic method for gearing and shifting.

This video will explain how the braking system works to stop the vehicle and how each component is to to its working all as one unit. This is the first part of this video. This will give an overview of the brake system on a modern vehicle to better show how it physically stops the vehicle.

This video will explain how the braking system works to stop the vehicle and how each component is to to its working all as one unit. This is the second part of this video. This video uses visual aide to explain the braking system but breaks down the components and traces them from the master cylinder to the actual brake mechanism.

This video will explain how the braking system works to stop the vehicle and how each component is to to its working all as one unit. This is the third part of this video. This video breaks down an older braking system and gives visual aid to help understand and trace the brake system from beginning to end.

This is a basic overview of the cooling system of the vehicle and how it works to remove heat from the engine. This video also breaks down the components of the cooling system and traces it from the thermostat through the radiator and explains the process of the vehicle being cooled.

This is the final video in the series and what the next video series is about. We also rely heavily on feedback from our students in future course subjects.
