definitely call other shops, there are always shops looking for a "shop b1tch" as bungo said. The shop I work at hires the auto tech highschool guys from the local highschool and even though they are already in auto tech at school they learn alot more just by watching us. So definitely try every local shop, and start out by asking if they need somebody to clean up or mop floors or sweep or things like that, get your foot in the door and then when you get a chance ask one of the mechanics if you can watch him. Also read manuals like some other guys have said Chilton, Haynes, carbibles etc. And if you are worried about messing something up read about the whole thing before you start working and if you have one of the manuals take it to the car with you or print off the stuff from the internet and have it with you at the car. If you need more help than that ask on here, there are some very knowledgeable guys on here who are very willing to help out. Good luck
