There's two ways to go about this.

Learn the physical side of cars, brakes, suspension, steering etc.

Or learn the diagnostic/electrical side.

Easiest thing to do is to get a 2nd used car that has an healthy transmission and engine but everything else needs work.

You will learn off that car quickly, DON'T WORK ON YOUR PRIMARY CAR WHEN LEARNING.

If you break something on the beater who cars, I learned almost everything on my old car.

Also only buy tools you need for the job, only shop at harbor freight. If possible buy an online service manual and join an automotive forum dedicated to your car.

The forums with the biggest data base on repairs outside of Honda would be either Mercedes or Subaru

Learn a language and all the associated frameworks that work with it. Build a project or two. Practice algorithms and data structures and such through sites like hackerrank or leetcode.

I went to a highschool that taught trades, and that s*** is so beneficial to know. It doubles as good backup job options, but also s*** just good for everyday life. Like I just got a house that I'm gonna need to make hella repairs on. Hiring someone would be disgustingly expensive, because they charge for labor. Knowing how to do it yourself comes in handy so so much. Really wish I knew more about cars though, cause mechanics be on they best bullshit

You want tools that cost more than the parts you putting on your car?

Imo a home mechanic doesn't need snap on, SK, Wright, Williams, Carlyle, Proto etc

Tekton, Harbor freight, and craftsman will do you well

Yep. Mainly use JavaScript/Typescript in Angular.

He doesn't, but some tools at Harbor Freight have poor quality and he'll end up buying a second tool when he could've bought them right the first time and got quality

DeWalt, Craftsman or a Husky Mechanics tool set should do the job
