The top-selling auto repair guide--400,000 copies sold--now
extensively reorganized and updated
Forty-eight percent of U.S. households perform at least some
automobile maintenance on their own, with women now accounting for
one third of this $34 billion automotive do-it-yourself market. For
new or would-be do-it-yourself mechanics, this illustrated how-to
guide has long been a must and now it's even better. A complete
reorganization now puts relevant repair and maintenance information
directly after each automotive system overview, making it much
easier to find hands-on fix-it instructions. Author Deanna Sclar
has updated systems and repair information throughout, eliminating
discussions of carburetors and adding coverage of hybrid and
alternative fuel vehicles. She's also revised schedules for
tune-ups and oil changes, included driving tips that can save on
maintenance and repair costs, and added new advice on
troubleshooting problems and determining when to call in a
professional mechanic. For anyone who wants to save money on car
repairs and maintenance, this book is the place to start.
Deanna Sclar (Long Beach, CA), an acclaimed auto repair expert and
consumer advocate, has contributed to the Los Angeles Times and has
been interviewed on the Today show, NBC Nightly News, and other
television programs.

Great book for the noviceReviewed by M. Ferry, 2009-02-17
The best thing about this book is that it explains the basics about how cars operate in a thorough manner. So if you have no knowledge about how a car works then its a great book for you. I learned a lot from reading this book, even if you don't plan on working on your car it will help you understand what needs to be done and make sure the mechanic is treating you fairly
good, practical bookReviewed by J. Gonzalez, 2009-01-25
The book is a basic, logical approach auto repair book, with a lot
of good helpful information and hints to go about taking care of
your car. Will it make you a professional mechanic? well, it will
give you enough confidence to do a lot of maintenance on your cars
and wonder why you ever paid 300 dollars to have a tune up and
alternator put in your car when you realize that you can buy a good
rebuilt alternator for 25 dollars and doing your own tune up will
total much less than 300, not to mention the fact that you will get
the satisfaction of doing it yourself and learning as you do
it.
It is my experience (and I'm sure a lot of folks can relate) that
there is almost not a bad book if you put the time and effort to
get what you need to accomplish something. If you don't use the
book for the intended purpose, then no good will come out of buying
it. Get a sandwich instead.
