how did you learn to work on cars?

Good morning Rani! For me it started as a young kid and my dad owning a garage. I started off there pumping gas and like you changing oil. My mentor has always been my father and he still is. It makes it difficult to see him aging. I have always maintained he has forgotten more than I will ever know.

Magazines and books as well, but for me I am a "hands-on" learner. Reading for me is a "reference". I can do all the reading in the world, but I need to put my hands to work. Ya know what they say, "idle hands are the devils play child" ...or something like that...
