Luckily, "those who do" now have youtube channels with videos for almost any car job you need to do, with the specific make and model.

The boomer way wasn't that easy, but it actually finally IS easy to learn to work on cars.

There's also this, I can recommend it: https://www.howacarworks.com/

Nope, most of the stuff I want to do on my 2017 RX do NOT have videos on YouTube. Good luck changing the spark plugs yourself including with YouTube. The back 3 will be impossible

Oh you're right then, I withdraw my point. It's impossible to learn to work on cars.

It's impossible to learn to work on modern cars without help, and the idea that things are similar enough from the old cars that it carries over to modern cars is simply not true for a whole lot of vehicles. You really do need videos for each and every vehicle.

Watch even experienced mechanics works on new cars. They tend to bumble around for awhile.
