I can repair / solder circuit boards, laptops, and phones but don't know much about cars. I want to look after my celica on my own. Any tips? I own a basic tool set and have changed flats, headlights and car decks but that's about it. I'd like to do my own brakes and basic maintenance. Ideas? Youtube? Get a Haynes manual? Official Toyota service manual PDF? Thanks.

Autozone has a free manual for our celica's. Not the greatest ever, but hey it's free and can basically tell you where many components are. Wiring diagrams can be bought and basic maintenance is super easy for our cars, everything is within arms reach and a lot of the car can almost be taken down with a few wrenches and time. Along with all of this ^
