Auto Repair for Beginners: A Complete DIY Guide with Step-by-Step Instructions on How to Fix All of Your Car’s Most Common Problems for Free at Home

I got this book to use for an elective in our homeschool year. This is just what I was looking for. The beginning of the book provides an overview of what auto repair entails. These sections also go over what tools and equipment you will need as well as how to protect yourself and your surroundings. Then we get into the repair tasks. Each task is given a description and then individual repairs are described below. For example, the section may be about checking different fluid levels. Then, the following sections cover oil, transmission fluid, windshield wiper fluid, and power steering fluid. And step by step directions are provided for each one. Everything is explained in a way that even the most novice person can follow along.

Great book to have, especially for a new driver. Bought for a grandson just getting his license and first car.

This book definitely shows you that to make money you have to first spend some money. But if you are already going to the repair shop for your repair costs, you will be saving money from the very first repair that you do!Also, you learn to know which repairs you are willing to make for friends and people that might pay you on the side and which ones you need to refer them out to a body shop for more extensive or liable workRepairs from Z are covered in here as well as tips for getting your own side, business started or what kind of things to look out for along the way

In a world of conflicting YouTube videos on every aspect of auto repair, a comprehensive textbook on the facts behind the skills is absolutely essential. This book provides the basic information that people who want to do their own auto repair must have at their fingertips. Not only does it provide the solid theoretical background for the physical repairs, it also includes a detailed explanation of safety issues and a comprehensive list of tools and equipment needed to do your own auto repairs. To top it off, there’s a super handy metric-to-Imperial conversion chapter, with the formula needed for every component that you might need, from inches to millimeters and liters to quarts. Gift a copy of this book to your high school graduating son/daughter/grandchild!

This book is great for anyone who wants to learn about their car and be able to do their own simple auto repairs. I appreciated how it went over safety concerns when doing repairs and really explained in simple terms what each component of a vehicle is and what it does. It explained all the tools that are important for car repair and maintenance and what they are used for and how to make sure you have everything you need for a successful car repair.

I quickly reviewed the pages and discovered that this appears to be a compilation of content copied from other books. The self-published work claims to be a beginner's guide, but it lacks the depth and information necessary to adequately support someone new to the topic.

The author lists and explains basic tools necessary to maintain and repair your vehicle. Basics such as oil changes are discussed as well as replacing a heating coil. A very useful chapter is scratch repair which teaches you step by step how to remove and repair scratches to keep the surface like new,

My son just got his first car and he wanted to know more about oil change and other simple things he can do to save money on his own.This is a very good book with helping him learn about his car and what it takes to maintain it.
