I'm not a professional mechanic but I'm an engineer and an x-weekend racer. At work I design assembly systems for all type of automotive products, ABS controllers, superchargers, steering racks, AC compressors, brake assemblys, etc. So I am familiar with the design and theory behind automotive parts. I also auto-xed a VW for 12 years and rebuilt everypart on the car. The engine, trans, etc. You name it, I had it apart.
I've been a backyard mechanic since around 1990 and used to make my racing money by working on other people s cars. I've probably installed around 50 sets of springs, done dozens of cluthes and cylinder heads, etc. I still occasionally do weekend work in the garage, but much less than in the past as I now have a family that eats up my extra time.

Jeremy Duncan,
Airframe & Powerplant mech, Boeing 15 years. My specialty is Pratt & Whitney/ Rolls Royce and Heavy Jet airframes. Worked for Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, TWA, Goodrich Aero, San Antonio Areospace, L3 Comm and now Bombardier Aerospace.
Have owned a Volvo sense 86 and specialize in 140 and 240 series and working up to my new 850. I was a US Army light wheel vehicle mech when in the military and worked for several shops as a mechanic. I have been certified ASE with brakes and alignment. I went back to aircraft before I finished the rest of my testing.
I can turn wrenches with the best of y'all on cars.
