nah you don't have to study in the US just to be ASE certified(fuc$ing expensive to study automotive here,it range from $14k up).Anyone who has a good knowledge in automobile can take the ASE certification.Just buy the test prep and you're good to go.It's like taking microsoft mcse and cisco ccna certs

May pag-asa pa pala ko. :lol: Kaso may renewal ang ASE certification diba? Para updated ka parati sa mga bagong sasakyan.

you can't learn it overnight and a year is too short to learn all about automotive. why not concentrate on one subject (e.g. ac, engine mechanical, suspension, etc) and learn other areas later. what you will learn at the school is mostly theories and you also need to learn the actual trade.

magsasasama ka lang sa mga tao dito, basically you will learn new things everyday.

oo nga, mag put up ka ng shop na libre detailling and everything tapos ikaw gagawa....

mga bro tnx sa replies but im still confuse on what am i going to do to learn evrything about auto repairing. correct me if im wrong but as far as i understand, i dont need to enroll in any school. all i have to do is buy the book, Automotive Mechanics by Grouse and Anglin and a surplus engine for me to learn. tpos if i still want to continue learning, thats the time when i enroll. tama ba?

additional question lang, ok lng ba na bumili ako ng lumang kotse unf mga worth 12-30K tpos un ung pag praktisan ko?

Ken,

What interest you most about cars? Engine- diesel or gasoline? Powertrain-AT or Manual transmission, Differentials. Transfer case, wheels and brake systems, suspensions. Electricals. Start at one and then your curiousity will bring you to the next. Never stop asking questions no matter how rediculous it is. Dito sa thread sanay na kami sa mga wierd questions and yet sinasagot pa rin namin.

The book I suggested will answer most of your questions.

If you have a car buy a manual on CD and start applying DIY. If you think you have the patience to repair your car and your friends' ride then your up for the task.

Bro, I have that book. You will not be an overnight mechanic just by reading that. Apat na taon ko na ata binabasa iyan pero dito pa din ako sa forums nagtatanong. hehehe.

Tama si t2 erns mag-specialize ka or mag-focus muna sa isang subject. Tignan mo ang Cruven specialty nila suspension, si Mang Mario aircon, si Allen Isidro (nung nasa Pinas pa siya) auto body and paint ang specialty niya. Then just expand from there.
