  • Excellent book for young drivers (and not so young ones too)
I bought this book for my son who just started driving. He never wants to hear advice from me. After reading this book myself, I’m pretty confident it will give him a solid understanding of how to go about getting his car serviced. It’s very straight forward and easy to read. I learned some things that I had never considered before. ... show more

  • This is what people need to avoid getting taken to the cleaners!!!
I've been looking for a book that explains vehicle maintenance and what to look for to avoid getting taken advantage of by repair shops. As a woman I always felt uneasy when taking my car in for oil changes. It seems every shop I try always calls me with a laundry list of repairs I need. Friends of mine have referred to it as "being put on the elevator." My Ex was always in charge of getting our vehicles taken care of so finding a book like this will be very helpful. Thanks Todd for writing this! ... show more
