Default Re: Tired of paying for service...........

Chassis manuals and Chilton books are pretty good guides. My experience is that getting dirty is the best training you can get. It also doesn't hurt to befriend a local mechanic and body guy for reference or reinforcement of your diagnosis.

Most mechanics are car guys and will offer some advice if you spend some time getting to know them.

Trial and error may take some time, but the reward is worth it. You'll find that some of the things that appear the most difficult, really aren't (like engine rebuilding).

Just take your time.
