內容簡介：
The top-selling auto repair guide--400,000 copies sold--now
extensively reorganized and updated
Forty-eight percent of U.S. households perform at least some
automobile maintenance on their own, with women now accounting for
one third of this $34 billion automotive do-it-yourself market. For
new or would-be do-it-yourself mechanics, this illustrated how-to
guide has long been a must and now it''s even better. A complete
reorganization now puts relevant repair and maintenance information
directly after each automotive system overview, making it much
easier to find hands-on fix-it instructions. Author Deanna Sclar
has updated systems and repair information throughout, eliminating
discussions of carburetors and adding coverage of hybrid and
alternative fuel vehicles. She''s also revised schedules for
tune-ups and oil changes, included driving tips that can save on
maintenance and repair costs, and added new advice on
troubleshooting problems and determining when to call in a
professional mechanic. For anyone who wants to save money on car
repairs and maintenance, this book is the place to start.
Deanna Sclar Long Beach, CA, an acclaimed auto repair expert
and consumer advocate, has contributed to the Los Angeles Times and
has been interviewed on the Today show, NBC Nightly News, and other
television programs.
