But what about attaining certain levels of certification and for that you get access to more videos? That way you know what you are doing. Plus seriously most of you guys don't realize how a lot of these vehicles actually work. You just want the answer from us techs. But reality we can't always be right. We have to diagnose everything. Why, cause we look like the idiots. But look it at this way. By learning more about the vehicles you can learn more about yourself and improve yourself. Imagine getting a patch that says, Master DIYer. Your neighbors and your buddies will be amazed. You will have more information and more knowledge at your fingertips. You can fix stuff on other vehicles as well. Hell, with a big garage you can make a bit on the side. Who wouldn't want to be paid to put on a set of brakes for a neighbor. Or perhaps diagnose an electrical issue and get paid for it. This way your certification and your tools will give you that extra boost to make something off of it.

Look at McMaster-Carr.
McMaster Carr is the gold standard when it comes to eCommerce sites.
They are a business to business site, but there's no reason a consumer site can't be as good. It's just that most web site designers are more interested in showing off than providing a good customer experience, and the people who pay them are so clueless they go along with what they are told.

I was going to be a auto mechanic when I was in high school, I took college prep courses in auto repair for 3 years, each year was a higher level than the last of course.
Grew up and worked on a farm, we fixed everything ourselves.
No that does not make me a expert.
So for me to wade through videos to earn points to move up a notch is a waste of time.
The things I dont know are the electrics and electronics, and who can diagnosis those without the proper machine?
