The popularity and pull of the iPod has made its way into automotive repair.

Advance Auto Parts is now offering free downloads of its video clinics showing instructional car repair information through Apple’s video iPod technology. The partnership with Apple makes downloads available by logging on to www.AdvanceAutoParts.com, clicking the “Know-How” tab, and launching the free podcasts subscription.

More than 20 of Advance’s "how-to" video clinics are available. The video clinics show do-it-yourselfers (DIYers) how to perform a variety of maintenance procedures, from replacing brake pads, to changing oil or installing shocks and struts and include quick instructions related to a variety of automotive projects.

New video clinics will be added monthly to iTunes.com and AdvanceAutoParts.com sites.
