Course Overview
Whether you want to save on your garage bills or are preparing to become a professional mechanic, this comprehensive car maintenance course will introduce you to all the key skills you need to fix a range of issues. From keeping the fuel, electrical and cooling systems in good nick to replacing the brakes and understanding dashboard warning lights, you'll understand your car inside out and earn a professional qualification at the end of it all.
Description
Car maintenance doesn't have to be difficult. Through video tutorials, reading and practical assessment, you will develop a complete comprehension of how to maintain your vehicle. Starting off with safety rules and an overview of what's waiting for you under the hood, you then get into general maintenance techniques before learning more about dashboard indicators, tires, engines and oil.
