Auto Repair For Dummies

I'm still in process of reading this book, and I had to write a review because I like it that much. Before this book I did not know what a solenoid was. If you don't know, read the book. I give my word that it will be well worth the money, and that after only the first five chapters.

Hello,

I had very little knowledge of cars before I've bought this book, and after reading it (well some of it - it is very long and tedious and fool with obvious "insights") I stil have very little knowledge. Maybe this book will be good for people who never heard before that cars existed because ~80% of this very l o n g b o o k is bla bla bla (how to clean your car (?!), how to select a garage (?!) - what kind of expert do U need to tell U thos kind of info ? )

another problem is that it speaks about the "classical" engines - most of the cars from year ~90 and more are not using the system as described there and are more complicated (carburator, distributor ) to handle.

As a new driver this book has helped me alot in buying a new car and it has also helped me in working on and maintaaining the car that I already have. I feel that this has helped me in many ways and I think that alot of people should read this book if they are interested in vehicles. It was also very interesting to find out things that I did not know about before I read this book. This is a better book on cars then any other car magazines and any other car books that I have read before becaused it describes in detail what you need to do or what you should do. This is also a good book because all of the other car books that I have read you have to know what kind of car you want to learn about or work on. That is why I like this book because it tells you about all kind of cars it does not just focus on one of them. So if you like learning about cars and you also want to learn about how to maintain your car I feel that you should read this book it is very educational.

If you are like I was before having read this book, then this book is for you. I did not know I had to pump my tires !, oil ? well, I didn't also know it was necessary to check it !. I only knew how to drive and to fill it with gasoline ! . But my book has changed my point of view of my car. Now, having read this amazing book, I not only take more care of my car, It also gives me more satisfaction, it purrs like a cat, and has not left me for months !. I have read other beginers how to books, but this book is wonderful, so many pictures, so many explanations, so many advices, it is a bargain and a treasure. I highly recommend it

As an amateur driver I found this book to be really helpful in understanding the components and pieces of a car. Not only that but the book is great to take with you on trips in case of emergency. This book should definately be part of your home library.
