Put the brakes on costly car bills.

The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Auto Repair Illustrated covers everything readers need to know about their automobiles, from the tires up. Tailor-made for true novices, it shows them how to make some of the most basic repairs themselves—and teaches them enough to feel confident that they’ll never be taken for a ride by a mechanic again.

• More than 300 easy-to-understand illustrations and a 50-page self-diagnosis guide organized for quick identification of what’s wrong
• New- and used-car warranty information
• Step-by-step illustrated instructions on how to conduct routine maintenance
• An overview of how each system—steering and suspension, cooling, electrical—works

Review by P. J. Byron, 2009-09-24

This is a good book for the basics. I bought this so I would know what my auto mechanic was talking about when I brought my car in for repairs or maintenance. It helped me be on the same page as my mechanic and to trust the mechanic's recommendations rather than feel that I was being sold something that I didn't need.
