1.0 out of 5 stars I was ripped off by someone out to make a quick buck., May 25, 1999

By A Customer

This book is listed at 240 pages, however, 165 of these pages are glossary and appendice. The author actually wrote only about 55 pages of info. There is also 10 to 15 pages of pictures. They appear to be photo copied pictures. They are of very poor quality.

This book has many spelling, grammar, and typo errors. I usually don't mind, but in more than a few instances the text was not understandable or had to be read numerous times to get the meaning.

By reading the text I get the feeling the author felt this was a huge project and that he just wanted to get it done as quickly as possible. 55 pages of text is not a huge project! How many pages of text do you suppose a college student writes in a year?

If you are buying this book to help you get started in the auto repossession business save your money.

I feel I was ripped off by someone who was out to make a quick buck.

1.0 out of 5 stars don't buy it!!!!, March 4, 2001

By	Jody Peterson "(made it through 3 hurricanes ... (Central FL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This was one of the worst books I have ever read! 1/2 the book had poor information and the other 1/2 was just "filler". They actually put a photo copy of a tow truck in the book. If you need to be shown what a tow truck looks like then doing repos are not for you. If I could get my money back, I would! The author wrote a forward, and if what he said was true, he has no business working for a repo agency! from what he said and did to obtain a unit, he could have killed himself of someone else. It actualy takes brains to do auto repo, something this author is lacking! If you know even as little a 10% about the auto repo buisness then you know 10% more then the author. save your money, go and work for an auto repo company and learn it from them.

1.0 out of 5 stars Professional's Guide to Auto Repossession, April 29, 2001

By	Fred Gonzales (Moline, Illinois) - See all my reviews

I agree with one of the other reviewers on this book. I too purchased this book to help in the starting of a repo service. Although this book contains factual information, it contains very little info for your buck. There are very low quality pictures in this book, lots of wasted space, and over half the book contains no useful info. Save your money on this book. I only wish I had read the reviews before I purchased this book!!!
