My car is in the shop and its costing me a hefty chunk of change to fix. I want to learn the basics of car repairs so I can do some basic maintenance first to save money. Any books, YouTubers, or online resources I can use to learn about cars? I'm looking to learn first about things like the parts of cars and what their purpose is and then going deeper.
ChrisFix on YouTube is gonna be one of the best sources. He does have sponsors and will sing their praises but it’s not annoying.
Otherwise, vehicle specific forums can have really good advice.
As far as general car knowledge, browse Wikipedia. Engines and drivetrains are complex machines but basics are straightforward.

I’m sure there are but it’s the one I’m most familiar with
