Editorial Review / Publisher's Information:
Product Description
From Motorbooks, the leader in automotive publishing for over 4 decades, comes the most practical car care guide ever produced to help the average car owner maintain and repair his or her vehicle - How to Repair Your Car. In this easy-to-follow guide, author Paul Brand, a nationally known automotive expert, takes you through the steps of auto maintenance and repair—simple steps that could add years to a car’s life and save a driver thousands of dollars in repairs. This is also the only car maintenance and repair guide on the market to contain 50 do-it-yourself projects in full-color, step-by-step instructions that are easy to follow and understand.  Focusing on post-1985 cars (with occasional explanations about earlier models), Brand introduces readers to the rudiments of automotive systems—from electrical, fuel, and cooling to drivetrain, suspension, tires, brakes, and exhaust—and discusses problems that arise in each system. The book includes practical advice for readers with only a passing knowledge of cars, as well as the basics of caring for a car’s exterior and interior.
How to Repair Your Car is a must-have for any car owner who wants to extend the life of his or her car, learn how to perform car maintenance or repair instead of paying a mechanic, diagnose simple noises and knocks, as well as learn tips for knowing exactly what they're paying for when their car goes to the shop.

• Decent Product, Slow Service
04 February, 2009
For some reason this book took a long time to come in - about 3 to 4 weeks. Otherwise, it was in great condition.
The book itself has great pictorial representations for easy understanding, but it wasn't as in depth as I'd hoped it would be. If you're a female like me who doesn't know anything about cars, it's very helpful. If you know what you're doing a bit more, you might want to try for something a bit more advanced.

• A Solid Introduction
10 February, 2009
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.

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

• Good For Beginners
04 April, 2009
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.

• For Basics Only
29 June, 2009
I bought this book only for its explaination of do-it-yourself wheel alignments. Otherwise, the engine used in the examples is rather simple. When most people open the hood of their car, they will be amazed to find much more there than pictured in this book.
