If you want to obtain ASE certification, you want this book. If autobody work is your hobby, you want this book. Covers auto-body work, from tools to procedures, as any such book should. But it also covers areas that most others don't. Shop layouts, safety equipment and uses, (What fire extenguisher to use on what type of fire.) hand tools and techniques for use, types of sheet metal, air compressors, how to set-up air supply lines, types of welders, and more. From small repairs to painting, and diagnosing paint problems. Each chapter starts with objectives of what you should learn, and is followed by questions (multi choice, essay, math) to test what you learned. Followed by appendices for shop terms & abbreviations, decimal & metric equivalents, fluid and air nozzle selection charts, viscosity conversion charts. If you want to work on cars, professionally or as a hobby, YOU NEED THIS BOOK!!

I can attest to everything the first reviewer wrote. This book is practical, well written and laid out, and leaves no stone unturned. I am not a professional repair person and I was amazed at all the things that I had no idea existed in repair work. Don't try body work without it.

This May nd Corny But, Here goes. This Is ya must have Book For anyone Doing Auto technology Ie auto Painting and Body work. It Is The Precursor To The Newest Book In This Series So It May Be A little Outdated But It Definitly Covers Most Of The Newest Technologies In this Industry for The Present Time. Not Every thing You Want May Be In Here But It Gives Insight To How repairs Are Done And Questions You On The Methods Performed To Complete Each Given section Or Chapter Of The Knowledge given. Of Course Experience Means Alot And There Are Of course many Diffrent Ways Of Doing the same Thing, But If you read This Book Even A little I think That There Are Some techniques And Information To Be Gained. Lesson Is You Can Never Have Enough Insight To The Task you Are Performing. I Take That Much From My Own Experience. Definitely Worth a Used Book Investment <10USD.
