    • Saved me so much money and time repairing my car; but its not all-inclusive in terms of automotive repair topics
This book had saved me so much money and time. I highly recommend anyone read it before even popping the hood open on their car. It is well written, and contains important information that is impossible to find in online DIY articles in terms of auto stuff. It mentions so many important things that you would not think about other wise when repairing your vehicle yourself. Great book; added way more value to my life than it cost. This is not an all inclusive book though, and only covers things that most people could do pretty easily by themselves. For example, it doesn't cover how to drain your auto transmission fluid, probably because that can get a little bit dangerous for DIY'ers ... show more

    • This book will do good service. -
I used this book to introduce my children to the basics of auto repairs and 2 of them have joined me in my passion for auto restoration. My resent purchase was for a friend who has no auto repair knowledge, but wants to work on an older truck. This book will do good service. - JB

    • Abbreviated version - not what I wanted
This is a super abbreviated version of the full book. It does not contain all the diagrams on each system I was looking for. If you are looking for all the information then time to look elsewhere!
