Get on Youtube and Google and search for &#x27;{car make &amp; model} {repair}&quot; - you might be surprised what you find.  There&#x27;s a lot of online forums for specific cars, and a lot of people posting repair videos on Youtube.<p>It also helps if you have an old beater to work on so that you can take your time and you don&#x27;t end up messing up your daily driver car.<p>Last summer I successfully replaced a clutch by myself on an old car of mine soley based on videos and walkthroughs I found online.  It took forever and was probably an order of magnitude more difficult than any automotive repair I&#x27;d ever attempted prior to that, but I did it.
