What you can use it for
I’ve never worked on a car.
Start with the CR-V cabin filter. It’s behind the glove box: no tools, about 10 minutes.
I’m nervous about one step.
The free 12 seconds show the tricky step. On the Corolla cabin filter: pull the glove box toward you, not up.
I want to buy the right parts.
Each video lists what that car takes. The Camry air filter: a filter and a rag, no tools.
I just need one number.
Oil amount, lug nut torque and tire pressure are free. Try a 2019 Silverado 1500.
I’m changing my oil this weekend.
Watch your car’s video first. The Civic one is 8 steps, about 45 minutes.
There’s no video for my car yet.
Look up your car (any year from 1950 on) and ask for one, free.
I’ll forget when it’s due again.
Save your car and pick 3, 6 or 12 months. Your calendar reminds you.

Questions
I've never worked on a car. Can I do this?
Yes. Start with All videos, listed easiest first, or Jobs you can do yourself.
What do I need to buy?
Every video page lists the parts, tools and supplies for that car, with sizes, grades and part numbers, and a link to each on Amazon. For a part that depends on your car, buy the one Amazon says fits your vehicle.
What does it cost?
Looking up your car and requesting a video are free. Each video is $1, and you can watch the first 12 seconds before you pay.
Which cars?
Cars and light trucks from 1950 on. Not in the lists? Pick “Other make”, or type your model.
How long does a request take?
We make each video for your car, so it usually takes a few days. We'll email you when it's ready.
Where do the videos come from?
Written by our repair experts, checked against real jobs mechanics logged. Each video is a 3D animation of the job on one car. If your owner’s manual says something different, go with the manual.
What do you do with my plate or VIN?
We use your plate once to find your car’s VIN, and we don’t keep the plate. We use the VIN to look up your car’s exact specs and match the right video. We don’t sell your data.
