Great Beginner to Advanced BookReviewed by Steve Schreiber, 2009-04-14
I worked in a body shop for 5 years as a general helper. When I
graduated college with an engineering degree I decided to get back
into autobody repair as a hobby. This book was a perfect reference.
It covers everything from pre-washing to paint to frame repair to
estimating.
Don't expect to be an expert after reading this book. It is
designed to get you on the right track.
The book does not cover specifics on painting since each
manufacturer has their own technique. For this information you will
need to contact PPG, Dupont, Sikkens...
Collision Repair Technology by James Duffy is toned down and easier
to read version of this book that would be great for a classroom.
For the student of Auto Collision Repair (ACR)Reviewed by Erik Ramirez, 2008-04-04
I have used the book for about 3 years. The book is very
explanatory, it shows some of the technics that are most used in
the trade, in addition, the author puts an emphasis in safety. It
does not cover very technical issues, as enginnering. Although,
technology is changing fast for the student is it a great tool
because it lays the basics in a clear manner.
The book is ideal for the college student, that is because with the
complement of other general education courses, the student is able
to grasp principles in the book that seem complicated. For example,
physics relates to how direct and indirect damage perform in a body
vehicle.
Para el estudiante de habla hispana el texto contiene un glosario
bilingue.
A plus is that the textbook includes a bilingual glossary, english
and spanish.
School TextbookReviewed by Bonnie Peterson, 2007-12-09
This is my textbook for the next 2 years.It is the beginners' body textbook and progresses to the more advanced stuff I know it's going to be trashed by the end of school since I use it every week but I'm trying to keep it nice because I'm planning on keeping it in case I need a reminder how to do something.
