5.0 out of 5 stars Saved me from being ripped off, November 27, 2008

C. J. Gerard (Ft. Wayne, Indiana) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Auto Repair for Dummies. (Plastic Comb)

Being a young woman with a car that needed frequent repairs when this book first came out, I was at the mercy of every greedy mechanic out there. At the time, I could barely afford to put gas in my car. I knew nothing about cars and wasn't at all mechanically inclined. This book saved me hundreds of dollars in maintenance and minor repairs. Good descriptions and lots of pictures. Now I'm looking for a copy for a teen with his first old car.

5.0 out of 5 stars Book is great for for all car drivers, August 5, 2000

"cackaler" (Rockford, Illinois United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Auto Repair for Dummies (Hardcover)

As an amateur driver I found this book to be really helpful in understanding the components and pieces of a car. Not only that but the book is great to take with you on trips in case of emergency. This book should definately be part of your home library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Avoid the garage., July 2, 2000

This review is from: Auto Repair for Dummies (Hardcover)

This book was recommended to me by an auto mechanic in the early 90s. Bought it right away. Found it clear, easy to understand, concise and practical. So far, I've changed my own starter and alternator belt, checked the distributor, changed spark plug wires, among numerous other fixes. Get it if you can.
