  • Great gift for the female driver in your life.
I bought this book for my wife, its full of very useful information about car ownership, operation and maintenance. It also provides incentive for the reader to read over the owners manual for further clarification about the individuals car. This book is subtitled a "Do-It-Herself" guide, but the information it contains would be valuable to any reader. Julie Sussman & Stephanie Glakas-Tenet have done an excellent job of tailoring the information to suit the needs of female drivers, my wife loves reading this book. When she's finally finished, she might know more about cars than I. ... show more

  • Perfect for the Novice
I bought this book as a gift to my friend who literally knew nothing about owning a car. She couldn't even check the oil, had no clue about even making sure it was maintained. I looked through it, and it's really a great book. It covers all your basics and some advanced stuff. I was raised to know how to maintain a car by a proactive Father, but I even learned some helpful stuff just through glancing through it. I just got my own car and plan to order a copy of this book! I think it'll be extremely handy! ... show more

  • I Drive Old Cars(and I don't mean hot rods)
For the woman who wants to know/do more and doesn't mind being a bit independent. It does tell you how do do things like change your oil and detail your car, but it also makes it clear that there are times you'll need a mechanic.

  • Half and Half
The first half of this book had most of the information I was looking for when I bought it: Useful things like how to clean battery contacts, where to find fuses, etc. The second half was more safety fluff that I didn't need about teen and elderly driving safety. Still, I'm glad I bought it, and I've been studying it like a textbook ever since. ... show more

  • Good starting place
I'm slowly working my way through the book and writing down questions that I still have (to ask my bf later). This is a really really basic understanding of how cars work, which is exactly what I wanted. The info provided on the car systems and what everything does is definitely the best feature. There is definitely information that is too elementary for me (e.g., how to open the hood of your car, putting a car seat in). But, like I said this book contains the most foundational information needed. ... show more

  • dare to repair: a do-it-yourself guide to maintenance, etac
Great book! We bought it for our daughter who lives 250 miles away. Now she has the ability to figure out what is happening under the hood, if it can be fixed, how it can be fixed and how involved the repair will be. I don't see her putting her head under the hood and doing the reapairs herself anytime soon, but it surely makes her a more informed consumer when she heads for the repair shop. ... show more
