Description

For more than 100 years, the editors of Popular Mechanics have been providing car enthusiasts with the skills and confidence they need to keep their vehicles running right and looking great. This manual is crucial for anyone who wants to know the automobile’s basic components, from the engine to the electronic systems, and to understand how they work, what can go wrong, and how to make repairs. Find out how to maintain and replace windshield washers, fix steering wander and faulty cruise control, and purge bad smells from the interior. Get smart advice on how to pass emission inspection and find service data online. And because car owners want their ride to look as good as it works, there are even instructions for removing bumper stickers, tinting windows, and adding pinstripes. With more than 90 projects, The Complete Car Care Manual—one of Popular Mechanics most successful books—will guide owners step-by-step through what it takes to hush those squeaks, replace the u-joints, change their own oil and filter, and so much more.

The best automotive repair book I've ever seen. From front to back, for each common problem, it takes a few pages to explain with simple clear drawings, the problem and how to repair it. Even if you don't do the repairs yourself, the explanations and drawingss will give you a through understanding of the problem so you aren't cheated by a mechanic.. If you read this book cover to cover, you'll understand about 95% of all car problems....you'll even be able to impress most gearheads. ... show more

  • Perfect gift for my son
Format: Paperback
I purchased this for my son who will be driving in a couple years. This book covers how to perform repairs that result in normal wear and tear, signs of wear, abnormal wear/abuse. This book truly is for the novice mechanic. Not a bad thing, in fact it could help a person save money by not falling for the BS some shops/dealerships tell you. ... show more

  • Alright for general learning about repair
Format: Paperback
You'd probably be better off buying the specific repair manual for your car. Each section is headed with a little story that I felt wasn't needed. For example, the section on passing an emissions test starts as follows: "Your car is running beautifully, and all seems right with the world. You have no trepidation whatsoever when the times comes to take it in for your state or local emmisions test. After an interminable wait in line at the station, a smiling, snappily dressed functionary shoves a probe up your tailpipe and asks you to gun it. Moments later, the inspector smiles wearily as he hands you an envelope - not a new inspection sticker, but an envelope that says FAIL in bright red letters." They should have skipped storytime and treat it like it's a book for adults instead of a pop-up book of auto repair for children. As far as the actual information goes, it's pretty general so don't expect a tremendous amount of knowledge, just the gist of doing things. ... show more
