5.0 out of 5 stars
Do it yourself, save $$, December 31, 2007
This review is from: Popular Mechanics Complete Car Care Manual: Updated & Expanded (Hardcover)
I am an admittedly novice grease monkey, but this book goes a long way towards helping give me the confidence that I can get under the hood and not end up with a 2,000 pound paperweight after I've fiddled around. The book is very project-focused, so there are mini sections for each project, IE "Changing your wiper blades" to more advanced brake/electrical work. If you're looking for more of an overview and just want to know what you don't know, this book may not be the best for a beginner, but for someone who is committed to working on their vehicle, or wants to improve their repair repertoire, this is a very helpful resource.

4.0 out of 5 stars
All the necessary basics, though not applicable to most of the newer generation vehicles., August 3, 2008
This review is from: Popular Mechanics Complete Car Care Manual: Updated & Expanded (Hardcover)
This is a fantastic book, filled with helpful information regarding the original parts of a car before they started putting on all the bells and whistles that tend to complicate the simplest things on an automobile. Valid information from a company I trust. Great buy.
