Pros & Cons
Pros
This book teaches you not only about the motor,but also you can learn how to fix diesel and electrics. It also teaches tips, pros,cons and warning for your car. This book is for anyone to gain knowledge to take better care of their car.
Cons
Useless, don't waste your $20. If repair to you means how to put air into a tire, then this book is for you! Basically useless for my needs. It is really bad when basic means describing how to pump gas.

This book is written for all those people sitting in car repair shops dreading when the service rep calls out their name to deliver a prognosis on their car

You have no idea what they are talking about and feel like youre the only one in the waiting area that doesnt have a clue so you just agree with what is said and tell them to 34just do it34 so you can get your car back

For the most part when mechanics see you making an effort to understand and participate in the discussion theyll spend more time with you to explain the problems some will even take the time to show you what they are talking about on your car and provide you with options to proceed
