Product Description

One of Popular Mechanics' most successful books gets a complete tune-up, with 64 extra pages and more than 90 projects, all clearly marked by level. So now owners will be able to hush those squeaks, replace the U-joints, and change their own oil and filter.

For more than 100 years, the editors of Popular Mechanics have been providing car enthusiasts with the skills and confidence they need to keep their vehicles running right and looking great. And this update to the magazine's popular car care manual gives owners more essential information than ever. It's absolutely crucial for anyone who wants to know the automobile's basic components, from the engine to the electronic systems, and to understand how they work, what can go wrong, and how to make repairs. Find out how to maintain and replace windshield washers, fix steering wander and faulty cruise control, and purge bad smells from the interior. Get smart advice on how to pass emission inspection and find service data online. And because car owners want their ride to look as good as it works, there are even instructions for removing bumper stickers, tinting windows, and adding pinstripes.

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.
