Weekend Mechanic 3d
Weekend Mechanic 3d has been designed to demonstrate how individual components of your car work. These OpenGL rendered 3d models can be manipulated by rotation, panning, zoom, transparency, component selection, component removal and the incredible exploded component feature! Current models available include:
* Alternator
* Disc Brakes
* Starter
* Crankshaft
* Battery
* Engine Valve Cover
* Ignition Coil
* PCV Valve
* Spark Plug
* Brake Pads
* Rotor
* Oxygen Sensor
* Piston
* Flywheel
* Ring gear
* Camshaft
Additionally, three "How It Works" Videos are available as 3d animations which illustrate how the individual component works. These are high quality 3d animations with professional narration. The 3d animations are available for the following components:
* Battery
* Alternator
* Starter
Check back often as this app is in constant development with additional components coming soon. In the near future this app will also illustrate how to perform routine maintenance and repairs.

An exploded view describe a lot then 3d view. Thanks Weekend Team
Super app clear dauts...please upgrade app and give us more electrical and electronics components 3d imegs
A waste of time thers nothing useful if your a real mechanic
Most helpfull app keep it up
This is a very good app.
If you dont know jack about cars then this is a great app to help you learn about the most important parts of your car. BUT i would like to see clutch/transmission for both automatic and manual. Also alot of suspension parts are not in this app, along with fuel components. Other than that, great starter app.
A thick automotive textbook has been kept inside the shelf for a very long time and never like to open it, but now I have found this beautiful 3D app to utilize it as my personal guru. Thank you so much for creating this easy to learn app.
I am a full time mechanic. This app is very useful for explaining repairs to customers. It allows me to show them what part it is that I am replacing and the exploded view n the ability to remove individual pieces of a component allow me to better explain why the part that needs replacing failed. I would have given 5 stars but I would have liked to seen more parts and the brake shoes in the pic are upside down...but I would REALY LIKE to see a updated version with more parts. This app does not make anyone a mechanic but it is very useful to us ppl who already are mechanics. It helps the customer better understand..including things like fuel pumps, window regulators, catalytic converters n some other commonly replaced parts would be very nice...otherwise great app. Ty. Joe W ( auto tech with 20+ yrs experience) TO THE PPL COMPLAINING THAT IT DOESNT SHOW YOU HOW TO FIX YOUR CAR....you shouldn't b working on cars then. This app isn't for teaching you how to b a mechanic. And as a mechanic myself I wish all you guys who call yourselves mechanics would stop. It gives us real mechanics a bad rep...just cus you can change your own oil doesn't make you a mechanic...there are oil changers, ppl who think they are mechanics cus they replaced a part of 2 before then there are us real mechanics...the diff is beeing able to diagnose the problem then fix it right the 1st time. Real mechanics don't just keep changing parts till you find the right one...lol
I actually like it. It give you a little information on a few individual parts. I have absolutely no mechanical skills whatsoever, but I know considerably more than what's on show. If you're hungry for knowledge look elsewhere. Nice but seriously lacking content.
Can be a super useful tool for the average joe just breaking into the auto mechanic industry. Start with the basics just like your spitting, right on!
Would love update on newer parts, this very educational course. I'm keeping in mind that newer vehicles can have up to 30,000 parts.
Of all the apps ive downloaded, this is the 1st one (ive seen) that responds to complaints and asks me what i think would improve this, let alone is willing to implement it...
I love this app. But please can you give more options for the engine like the block and cams and rings
Hello! It's not possible to get into the settings. I was trying to change the language (don't kno if that's even possible, was just trying to). Other than that - Thanks for developing the app, it's great to unmount things there and get the explanations.
I was expecting to to see alot more, such as picking vehicles, more detailed instructions. This is more for my 5 year old to learn a few basics
It's a nice concept, but it's a little buggy and slow. Also it has too many ads
You click on a part and it plays a video from YouTube explaining the part. Well, that's if it even loads the video.
Pretty cool "how it works" 3D videos for a basic break down on some KEY Components of ur car..
Very helpful when explaining to a customer on failed vehicle components, but it's menu is still small will like to see more sections included like transmission, steering, cooling, systems etc
It seems like am idea that should expand into a full educational application.
Well done, for the basics this is a great start to learn a little bit about some of the parts on your car that tend to need regular manitance or are common to failure
It has definition but it is needs more visual aid and a lot more diversity there should be three cylinder, four cylinder, six ext. And a list of parts to choose from after selecting part then the picture or animation then placement of the part on the motor it has potential
..But extremely lacking in content.
been working on cars for 40 years and I like this app to show people the root of simple issues.
