All I can say is you have a fantastic website for anyone looking for sound and detailed info on mechanical car stuff. I grew up in Detroit, and am, by default, a lifelong car guy. I've been a collector, restorer, enthusiast and studier of all things auto. Your site hits the nail on the head without going overboard for us enthusiasts who are not prof-mechanics. Thanks for building a great website. No need to respond, I just wanted to say thanks - and, I'll be back. Tom Jackson, Tennessee 13 October 2019 The @howacarworks video course seems like an absolute bargain! Great visuals, awesome resources by someone who really understands how to design this stuff. @alexmuir Top job! -- Oscar Edel 2019-10-13 Oscar Edel Netherlands 8 October 2019 @howacarworks It really blows me away at how excellent your product is. Site design, illustrated articles, production value, 3D modelling. You truly are a multitalented man! Going from ZERO to opening my car up, and being able to name parts is a GREAT feeling. -- WillJConnolly 2019-10-08 WillJConnolly Austin, Texas 30 September 2019 Every once in a while, I come across an INSANELY valuable resource @alexmuir's How a Car Works (@howacarworks) is one of these If you have ever felt like knowing more how these "from-A-to-B machines" work, check out this project CGI. Video courses. The whole thing So good -- @roguewealth 2019-09-30 @roguewealth 30 September 2019 Just discovered @alexmuir's @howacarworks . This has to be the the most extensive and visually stunning way of describing how a car actually works. Awesome work, keep it up. -- @d_landsverk 2019-09-30 @d_landsverk Grenland, Telemark, Norway 18 September 2019 @howacarworks @alexmuir the quality of your course is sooo damn good, mate. Idk if it's a software engineer thing, but people don't explain things like that. I really feel like I'm picking your pocket at $20. -- wa3l 2019-09-18 wa3l San Francisco, CA 1 August 2019 Sam Petitfils over 3 years ago I purchased the "early-bird" pricing and wow am I glad. This stuff is unrivaled. A labor of love with engaging instruction and plenty of 4K footage. Masterful. REPLY Sam Petitfils 16 June 2019 @howacarworks Oh my I love your videos so much! I had nothing to do with cars but am getting my drivers license (late, at 28) and decided I wanted to understand more. Your videos are so well done, so easy to understand. And they're getting funnier as well :) -- @oliviasayward 2019-06-16 @oliviasayward Berlin 15 March 2019 @howacarworks I just have to say exactly why you are better than any teacher I've ever had in my 72 years on this earth .... you just snapped the pencil ... Brilliant .... down to earth teaching without letting small obsticles invade the teaching. #sodamngood -- @CalabogiePro 2019-03-15 @CalabogiePro Calabogie, Canada 12 March 2019 Hi Guys. I wanted to shoot you a message and tell you how much I have been enjoying the course. Your production value is next level. I think programs like this are the future of the internet. You go above and beyond what top youtubers are producing and you hit the mark with an affordable price point. I often see posts in online forums where people are asking how to get into car maintenance and you are my recommendation. Ander G Canada 2 March 2019 i Sir Alex! sir i Love your work and everything you are doing! I'm a Muslim Sir i am waiting for the update like Deadly !!! I just can't wait ! I wanted to be a car mechanic (computer specialist and auto electrician) In Pakistan we don't have teachers like you !!! I'll be very Thankful For Your Reply Sir! Love From Pakistan[?] Muhammad S Pakistan 14 February 2019 @howacarworks I'm gonna say it again, but damn, I really don't regret buying the course. It's amazingly well done, the explanations are on top, and having real "illustrations" and visual content helps me understand all of what I couldn't until then. Thanks a lot for what you do! -- @P1kachugahashi1 2019-02-14 @P1kachugahashi1 Japan 14 February 2019 @howacarworks I just binged watch the last 4 videos and the quality of information is so beautiful, my head wobbles. Great job Alex, keep em' coming. -- @TheCaptainDan 2019-02-14 @TheCaptainDan 9 February 2019 Hey Alex! I can't describe how thankful I am for everything you're doing. Searching through websites and youtube can be soooo exhausting and overwhelming. It's a true blessing to have everything covered in one place in such an easy, simple and detailed way like in your website and video courses. Amila S Kosovo 20 February 2018 For those who want to get into low level car mechanics, or are just interested, I really recommend @howacarworks's video course. It's still being made, but I can't say I'm disappointed so far :) -- @0xP1kachu 2018-02-20 @0xP1kachu Japan Any questions Can I start watching today? Absolutely. There are 14 hours of lessons covering the whole engine and most of the engine bay systems. We're filming more every week, and all future content is included. How long do I get access? Forever. Until the course is completed the pricing is a one-time payment of $25. When I've finished the course I might look at some sort of monthly subscription but for now, I know that I prefer to pay a fair price once and get everything. That's how it works in a shop and I believe that's how it should work online. When will the series be complete? June 2023. I work full-time on this series, and it takes a long time to setup, write, record and edit every lesson. But the quality is extremely high, and I want it to be a reference piece for the next 10 years. As technology develops I will go back and add more lessons. Can I download the videos? You can install the free apps for Android and iOS - these apps let you download the videos for offline viewing. At the moment you can't download the video files (mainly because I want to completely finish every lesson before I make them 'permanent'). Will this course teach me to fix my car? I am asked this a lot. If you just want to fix one thing on a car then you don't need to understand automotive engineering or how things work. You can find videos on YouTube that will show you almost any repair, and you just follow those videos. But if you want to be able to diagnose and fix any car, any engine without spending hours Googling then you want a deep understanding of car mechanics. That is what you'll get from this series. You'll understand how things work, and by the time you've finished watching you'll really know what things like a MAF sensor, or a PCV valve are. It's universal, fascinating stuff! I love it. What about subtitles? Every lesson is professionally subtitled in English. Sometimes people ask whethe I will make subtitles in other languages and I'm afraid the answer is probably not. Technical foreign languge subtitles cost around $3 per minute. Right now we have 853 minutes of lessons, so it would cost $2,561 to translate. Sorry guys, there's just too much quality content! Can I donate or support you on Patreon? Thanks - you're kind! Honestly, the video course sales make enough to cover production costs and that's good enough for me at the moment. I love working on this project and I like creating a product that people buy and enjoy. If you've bought the course then that's great!
