Maintenance

A great book which provides instructional information and advice for beginners to professionals. Has lots of diagrams and pictures. Stirs up interest in understanding as well as appreciating the automotive repair and service. Would be a better than basic guide and referance book to have.

Excellent comprehensive and detailed book for a novice or professional. Great diagrams of all systems. You must have some knowledge of how an automobile functions, but if you do this is the book

This is a gread bood that I have ever read before

This book is the greatest it taught me everything I needed to know about brakes.

Starting to read in this book, the first thing you think is that you have picked up a book written in the 1950's. The first chapter is so basic, that it seems condescending. The pictures have to be old, or else they just feature items which I have never seen before. Ever seen antifreeze in a 1 gallon metal can? Considering that the title is Automotive Cooling System Basics, the first chapter is forgivable. I consider myself a gearhead, and a lot of this book has information which I am familiar with, but which most automotive mechanics are ignorant of. Very few people will be able to read this book and say they knew it all. I picked up the book, because it had a chapter on water wetters, something I have been curious about for years, and a chapter on non aqueous propylene glycol, something that I recently became interested in. The chapter was pretty thorough and extremely interesting, especially if you are interested in high performance motors/racing. Read this and you will be the most informed person you know on the subject.

This book is a very informative book that would be very usefull for the average tinkerer or the begining mechanic looking to learn about the basics of cooling systems. The text includes regular liquid cooled systems, high performance cooling systems, and air cooled systems and all of their components. This book also includes a rather helpefull troubleshooting section which would be usefull for the begining mechanic. this book has a high school reading level so it is rather easy to understand.

I used this when getting into the automotive field and it was a great introduction book and reference guide. Interesting enough that the average reader would find the info really in-depth. Recommended.

This is a great book if your a beginer with cars. It really talks alot about the way the engine works and how to service and fix your car. I am a car mechanic and this book even tought me some. It is really interesting.
