| 00:00 | I'm Connor from High Performance Academy and I'd like to welcome you to our Practical Automotive Maintenance course. |
| 00:05 | Maintaining your car to a high level is important if you want to ensure reliability, prevent parts failure and reduce the cost of maintaining your vehicle. |
| 00:15 | Traditionally, this involves taking your car to a specialist mechanic. |
| 00:19 | However, this can be an expensive and time -consuming process. |
| 00:23 | The reality is that most regular maintenance tasks can be completed by the average enthusiast with a modest selection of tools and the right knowledge. |
| 00:31 | This course aims to give you that knowledge. |
| 00:34 | Throughout the upcoming modules, we'll be covering a wide range of theory and practical skills that are going to give you the ability to carry out your own maintenance work on all types of vehicles, from daily drivers to performance projects. |
| 00:47 | To start, we'll be discussing everything you need to know about lubricants, the cooling system and brake maintenance. |
| 00:53 | After that, it's bushes and engine mounts. |
| 00:56 | We'll also discuss common service items like filters, seals, gaskets and ignition system consumables. |
| 01:03 | Finishing up with a look at some common and specialty tools of the trade that might be worth buying to save you time and improve your capacity to complete services more easily. |
| 01:13 | At the end of each section of this course, we'll be putting everything we've learned into practice by going through the process step by step. |
| 01:20 | This is going to allow you to follow along and be sure you understand how it all comes together. |
| 01:26 | You're also going to feel safe in the knowledge that it's been done right, gain a more well -rounded and technically deep understanding of your own pride and joy, and most importantly, experience the satisfaction of competently maintaining your own vehicle. |
