Customer Reviews

Well illustrated, clear, in-depth explanation. Easy.

This is the best book I have ever seen for the "weekend mechanic". Whether you are just starting out or are looking for a reference book as a refresher, "The Weekend Mechanic's Handbook" will serve you well. The excellent illustrations (photos and diagrams) of various model cars make it easy to extrapolate to your own car. This book covers everything from the very basics of how a car works and what type of tools you need, to minor maintenance (i.e oil change), to more in-depth repairs (i.e. brakes, coolant system, A/C). I found this book just in time- it has helped me save hundreds of dollars in mechanic labor costs. Definitely worth ordering!
