How to Find the Right Repair Video for Your Car on CarCareKiosk

Updated

To find the right repair video on CarCareKiosk, select your vehicle's Make, Model, and Year using the dropdown menus on the site, then browse the repair categories that appear for that specific car. The site organizes its videos by vehicle first and repair task second, so you must pick your car before you can see the matching tutorials. This works for any make and model listed in the site's vehicle selector, and the videos are free to watch.

Step-by-Step: Locating Your Vehicle's Videos

  1. Go to the vehicle selector. On the CarCareKiosk homepage, you'll see a "Pick Your Vehicle" area with three dropdown menus: Make, Model, and Year.
  2. Select your Make. Choose your car's manufacturer from the list — for example, Honda, Ford, Toyota, BMW, or any of the other brands offered.
  3. Select your Model. After choosing a make, pick your specific model from the Model dropdown.
  4. Select your Year. Choose your car's model year to narrow down to your exact generation.
  5. Browse the repair list. Once your vehicle is set, the site displays the repair tasks available for that car, grouped by category.

The Make list on CarCareKiosk covers a wide range of brands, including Acura, Audi, BMW, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, GMC, Honda, Hyundai, Infiniti, Jeep, Kia, Lexus, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Porsche, Ram, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, Volvo, and many more.

How the Repair Videos Are Organized

After you select your vehicle, the available tasks are grouped into categories. Each category contains specific how-to videos relevant to your car.

Category Example Tasks
Air Conditioner Recharge Freon
Air Filters Replace cabin air filter, replace engine air filter
Battery Jumpstart, replace battery
Brakes Add brake fluid, check fluid level
Check Engine Light Diagnose
Coolant (Antifreeze) Add coolant, check level, fix leaks, flush
Fuses Check/replace engine fuse, check/replace interior fuse
Lights Replace brake light, headlight, fog light, tail light, turn signal, and other bulbs
Oil Add oil, change oil and oil filter, check oil level
Power Steering Add fluid, check fluid level
Tires & Wheels Change a flat tire, check tire pressure
Transmission Add fluid, check fluid level
Washer Fluid Add fluid
Wiper Blades Replace front wiper blades, replace rear wiper blade

This structure means you don't have to search through unrelated content — once your car is selected, you only see tasks that apply to it.

What You Get and What to Expect

CarCareKiosk states it has produced over 60,000 free how-to videos since 2010, created by car repair experts. The videos are designed to help you "prepare for the repair" with step-by-step directions specific to your vehicle.

The site is available in English, Spanish, and French, so you can switch languages if needed.

User feedback on the site emphasizes clarity and confidence-building. One user, Marlene, noted she "would never have attempted this without your videos," and another user, Kerri, said the "nice, clear presentation" gave her "the confidence to do it myself."

Common Snags and How to Handle Them

  • Your exact year isn't listed. Vehicle selectors typically group by generation, so a nearby year often shares the same procedure. Pick the closest available year for your generation.
  • Your model isn't in the list. Double-check the spelling and make sure you selected the correct make first — the Model dropdown only populates after a Make is chosen.
  • You're not sure which task matches your problem. Use the category groupings as a guide. For example, a burnt-out front light falls under "Lights," while a warning about engine temperature falls under "Coolant."
  • You want to confirm the video matches your car. Watch the opening of the video, which typically identifies the specific vehicle, before starting the repair.
