Exactly what I expected

Recieved the item in the time provided and it was in good condition and exactly what I expected.

Stick with the Car Advice!

I guess you either love these guys or you hate them. My wife finds them incredibly annoying when she hears them on the radio. Myself, I love them. Their accents are not off-putting to me, and I love how they laugh together. What I've learned over time, though, is that the 'straight' answers they provide are actually pretty authoritative. They actually know what they're talking about, based not only on their extensive formal education but also based on their hands-on work with many, many cars. This book distills this expertise into important, relevant items you need to know. Buy it and keep it in the car - you'll be glad!

Diagnostic advice mixed with humor

Click and Clack diagnosed my intermittant start-up problem in about 2 minutes, via this book. As a result, I could talk to my mechanic more intelligently, and I knew what I was in for before I called the shop. I don't fix cars myself, but this book enabled me to be in charge of the process.You get a great diagnostic tool, and some cheesy (but still funny) humor, all for under $15. Not a bad deal.

Laughed hard enough that I shouldn't have been driving!

Great stories of the guys vs gals and a wonderful throw in on a college students response to a candidate college! My only complaint would be that the tape was too short only about an hour of entertainment, but a great hour!!!And if you need a good mechanic in Boston this tape has the perfect guy for you - really!!

This book should be given out along with driver's licenses

I wish I had this book ten years ago. The best $10 you can spend on your car. You should have this book if you have a new car, if you only drive your parents' car, if you have never owned a car and are about to buy one, or like me, if your car has been trouble-free and is now starting to act up. It's useful, it makes complete sense, and is very funny too. I plowed through it in about two hours. And if you think you don't know anything about cars, wait until you read what some other people have done...
