There is less information in this book than is in my owner's manual. A quick look is quite misleading as there are lots of pictures of detail. However, there is no text or instruction to go with it. For example, there is a nice detailed picture of a drum break assembly, but the text that goes with it says "Drum brakes are replaced in a similar way. Only the parts are diffent [from a disc break]". The first 130+ pages cover what is in the owner's manual, but in less detail, and the rest mentions other repairs and directs the reader to the shop manual. Don't bother. Read the owner's manual if you want to do routine stuff (oil change, windshield wipers, etc), there is much more information there. If you want to do more, get a shop manual such as Chiltons to Haynes (I've found that the actual shop manual from the manufacturer assumes ownership of specific tools designed for that car). ... show more

    • Great Book for someone new to working with cars
Format: Paperback
The photo illustrations in the book help show people what a particular part looks like, even though it is in black and white. The highlight in orange of a particular part described can help point out a part of the car, in order to easily identify from its surround parts of a car. The book gives some website to find information whether it would be about car buying to other automotive consumer information. The book, however does not go too much into detail of each parts of the car. This maybe good for someone who know very little about cars. The book looks easier to read and understand and should not be too overwhelmed by the information given in the book. However, if a reader wants more details and are less worried about photos, then Auto Repair for Dummies would be a better choice. ... show more

    • probably better to buy the hardback version
I bought the digital version for kindle through amazon. The diagrams are almost absolutly undecipherable. It was a really bad scan I guess. Also the book repeatitly refers to a car care card that you are supposed to fill out and refer too. Does not appear to have even been scanned in the digital version. It would be nice for amazon to whispernet associated PDF forms for books that have inserts. I give this book a 2 because it really does have some well written care care info. I wish I could give it a higher review, but books of a technical nature really do need to have clear diagrams to be complete. ... show more
