Book description
The top-selling auto repair guide--400,000 copies sold--now extensively
reorganized and updated
Forty-eight percent of U. S. households perform at least some automobile
maintenance on their own, with women now accounting for one third of
this billion automotive do-it-yourself market. For new or would-be
do-it-yourself mechanics, this illustrated how-to guide has long been a
must and now it's even better. A complete reorganization now puts
relevant repair and maintenance information directly after each
automotive system overview, making it much easier to find hands-on
fix-it instructions. Author Deanna Sclar has updated systems and repair
information throughout, eliminating discussions of carburetors and
adding coverage of hybrid and alternative fuel vehicles. She's also
revised schedules for tune-ups and oil changes, included driving tips
that can save on maintenance and repair costs, and added new advice on
troubleshooting problems and determining when to call in a professional
mechanic. For anyone who wants to save money on car repairs and
maintenance, this book is the place to start.
