Course Description
This course is a basic overview of a large majority of the drive-train and mechanics of the basic automobile. It is intended as an aid to those seeking a career in the automotive industry. It is not intended to be a substitute for a college degree or course in automotive repair but, it will assist you in beginning a career in the automotive repair industry. The impact of this course will be increased by as much hands on contact you can have with an automobile to practice what is taught in each lesson. This course also assumes little to no prior knowledge about automotive repair. So enjoy the course and we hope to teach you as much as we can. We don't aim to teach all of the concepts you would learn in automotive technology because so much material exists and it is every changing. This will give you the basis of knowledge to begin the journey on the road to becoming proficient in the automotive field. Check out our other courses we have on Udemy. We try to teach each set of concepts the most efficient way we know how so we have broken it up into several courses to zero in on each individual topic. Again thank you for choosing to learn with us and we hope to provide you with the best classes and knowledge that we know how to do.

My name is Scott Greene and I have been an Automotive Technician since 1983 which means I have been in the automotive industry in some form for the past 33 years. I have an ASE Master Certification in Automotive Technology, Advanced Electronics, and Diesel Technology. I also have a Level 3 Career Technical Endorsement in Automotive Technology or the equivalent of an Associates Degree in Technical Education.
I began my career as a technician working for various Automotive Dealerships and eventually worked my way into owning my own Automotive Repair Business. After 11 years of running a successful automotive business I determined it was time to change my career path and become an instructor. This move has been very successful and I am now using my experience to motivate and share knowledge with those who desire a career in the automotive industry.

Excellent beginner-friendly course! The explanations are clear, easy to follow, and provide a solid foundation in automotive repair. Highly recommended for anyone starting their automotive learning journey.

Great introduction to the main systems of most modern vehicles. I was hoping to see more full tear downs and builds of parts however. Maybe even a more direct assembly of how these parts work together.

This is an amazing explanation of the Automotive systems in an online mode. Creating content for uDemy with a proper Automotive Garage at the back end is really a hard work to do.

Yes it is a good match for me considering the my whole time profession in automotive

Good 101 video. Sometimes too much time is given to low priority topics and vice versa although I learned a lot from this course. Thank you for doing this!

The way he deliver every topic is very clear, I do have a suggestion some of the topic or lesson when he’s talking his voice is a little bit low or his mic maybe. That’s my suggestion

It's excellent insofar as it explains basic mechanical concepts, but in terms of specialized vocabulary and underlying concepts, there's occasionally missing detail.

I graduated a technical/mechanical highschool years ago and did some simple car repairs. I bought this course to freshen my memory, I found it useful and also learnt something new. As mentioned, it's better if you start with some base knowledge of how a car works. I suggest to look on YouTube for animations of certain mechanical parts to understand how they work inside, then follow this course to see those parts in real life, learn the components, their place and function inside the system, as you can't get that from simplified animations. I found very useful the automatic gearbox and carburetor sections. Some info are a bit outdated, but in repair shops they don't bring in just modern cars, and in my country/region those info are useful to work on the occasional agricultural machinery as well. Only defect is the not great audio in certain sections. But I'll still give 5 stars because the teacher is very passionate on the subject and you can tell he cares about making you understand the topic.

Yeah mostly but there were parts i skipped since they werent relevant to what im interested in or was explained verbally but not too well visually like with the white board pictures
