5.0 out of 5 stars Walks you thru repairs every step of the way., January 19, 1998
This review is from: How to Keep Your Subaru Alive: 1975 To 1988 : A Manual of Step by Step Procedures for the Complete Idiot (Idiot book auto series) (Paperback)
Walks you thru repairs every step of the way. The author is very thorough. This book has saved me a lot in repair bills for the 3 Subaru's I've owned. It's common for a dealer to charge $1300 to change the timing belts, I did the job on my car and the belts totaled less than $30.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, excellent resource for all Subaru owners, February 24, 1999

This review is from: How to Keep Your Subaru Alive: 1975 To 1988 : A Manual of Step by Step Procedures for the Complete Idiot (Idiot book auto series) (Paperback)
I got my Subaru GL used about 3 years ago. It needed a bit of work. After the dealer persuaded my to let him replace all of the gaskets in the engine, I didn't have much money left for any other maintenance. Thankfully, I found How to Keep Your Subaru Alive. Using this great resource as a guide, I've done all kinds of repair and maintenance on my car. Now if only the publisher would update it so I can work on my Dad's '93 Legacy... Oh, well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely fantastic, August 2, 2000

Adam Peck (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Keep Your Subaru Alive: 1975 To 1988 : A Manual of Step by Step Procedures for the Complete Idiot (Idiot book auto series) (Paperback)
I never really knew a thing about cars, and received this as a gift 8 years ago. Motivated by limited cash and that nagging sense of being taken advantage of at car repair places, I started making my own repairs and doing my own maintenance. My 84 GL is, now, in way better shape than my dogeared, oil-stained copy of this book, and I feel much more in control
Owens rules--the book is exhaustive and methodical and, at the same time, entertaining. The advice is wise (like that of a cool older brother, in one reviewer's words), the directions precise, the illustrations great (especially the one with the dogbone, the pie, and the toilet).
Thanks, Larry & Joe.
