1. Search hashtags on YouTube
Open YouTube and enter in the search bar:
AutoPlus #repair #suspensionAutoPlus #legal issues #OSAGO
AutoPlus #diagnostics #engine
The system will show all videos with these tags. Pay attention to download date โ the relevance of information in the automotive sector is changing quickly (for example, the rules for registering a car with the traffic police were updated in 2023).
2. Filter by category on autoplus.tv
