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
