This is going to sound daft at first, but hear me out... Car Mechanic Simulator 2015 on Steam is actually a reasonable, entertaining way to walk through the basics of auto repair. It will help you learn he names and functions of individual parts and systems as well as how they are interconnected, what they look like, their relative cost, and generally where they are. In the game you will, for example, start with real-life diagnostic codes and then troubleshoot from there, buying parts you hope will fix the issue. After playing the game if you go to YouTube and search for your exact car (by year, make, and model), you'll find a bunch of repair videos. You'll now have the vocabulary and basic understanding to follow along with any common repair.

Also /r/justrolledintotheshop you discover a significant amount of information by looking at that stuff and dropping a comment asking what you're seeing (if somebody hasn't already done that, which has usually happened). The denizens of that subreddit are incredibly nice and the subreddit is halfway hilarious and terrifying: some people drive these things[0]… around you… [0] http://imgur.com/90AvmSL http://imgur.com/90AvmSL

This makes a ton of sense! I find the attitude mentioned above annoying. Of course a ton of people do not understand these things. We make great cars today. So many of us really don't have to know. It is a want to know in most cases. Share and share alike man.
