I’m a 17 year old girl who started getting interested in cars and motorbikes, started taking pics of them and that goes from there to a hunger to try and eat up as many information as possible, I’d say I’m still mid about it but I’m there.
I’m curious when I start taking it seriously, where do I go to learn? do I work at a dealership and learn or go through a school or a college? what books and channels are useful for me to get a head start from?
I started with a night course in small engine repair. That taught me how to understand simple two and four stroke engines, their diagnosis and repair. It’s a life long skill. You’ll never go to a mower shop again. I decided I liked two strokes and took courses in outboards, boat repair and rigging. That lead to working for Chris Craft, then a high performance shop and eventually my own shop. Lots of free mowers only have carb problems. Do a quick repair and flip them for pocket money.
