Customer Reviews

Best book.

The best book to start with if you want to learn how to repair your car.I will highly recommend this book to every beginner in the field.So far the best research place if you want to start learning how to work on your car.

Great book

Because I am a novice mechanic, this book has really helped understand my old Buick.

Good for beginners

I bought this book a while ago because I like reading how other people perform basic maintenance on their cars. It is an easy read and would be helpful to someone who does not know much about car repair or maintenance. Since I work on cars regularly I currently have no use for this book so I am planning on passing it on to my 9 year old cousin to feed his interest in car repair. I think this book would also be good to keep in the backseat of a teen's first car. Then when they need to check the fluids or the car overheats, they will have a clue where to look and what to look for.

A Solid Introduction

Paul Brand's How to Repair your Car book is a great introduction for those with extremely limited mechanical experience. It is easily laid out with step by step projects, and lastly, beyond repair steps, Paul Brand includes very basic summaries on how the different components of the automobile work. It is an introduction repair guide, so do not expect extremely specific or complicated auto-info.

excellent automotive resource

This book is an excellent automotive resource for novices and motorheads. I would definetly suggest purchasing this book if you have car problems or if you simply want to learn more about the technical aspects of your automobile.
