Automotive Fundamentals by Jay Webster, Second Edition

After finding the first edition of this book in an Air Force library, I contacted the publisher and bought the second edition for my daughter's sixteenth birthday in 1993. She refused to read it and, as far as I know, hasn't read the Owner's Manual to her new Civic, either. On the other hand, I refer to this book a lot.

Webster explains in clear, non-technical, terms how and why an automobile works, covering the interrelationships of the parts. As a guy who learned the how of automobile maintenance, I appreciate understanding the why, and the influence of one aspect on another. The book is also well organized.

I recommend this book to the technically curious but unschooled. It's especially valuable to the car owner who wants to understand enough about their vehicle to help diagnose problems and speak intelligently with those involved in its maintenance and repair. Cars are for many of us a necessary, major, and recurring expense rivalling shelter and education in magnitude. I want my children to become intelligent consumers of things and services automotive, and to enjoy their cars.

Amust read for all DO-IT-TO-YOUR-SELFERS "out their"!

I found this book to be positively recharging and the heating section is hot, very hot. Don't forget it is better to recycle than to vent.

Knowledge all car owners should posses.

I'll start off this way, I bought this set of books for a Junior College Automotive Class, and read it before the class sesion even started - and I don't like to read. This is not a dry manual filled with borring specifications. This is an easy to read common sense book.

It covers the lingo we as car owners need to speak to get the right parts and service for our vehicles. (The glossary is in English and in Spanish).

It breaks up the automobile into it's separate systems, and describes them in detail. It prepares you for some fundamental troubleshooting.

Buy it!

Great general purpose book

This one has a little bit of everything and does not skimp on details. It is well worth the wait even if out of print. I have done a half dozen repairs on this book and thrown away most of my other how-to books.

A must for do-it-yourselfers

This book was the best I have ever seen of its kind (not that I necessarily collect these books). Just browsing through it, I picked up several useful tips; simple things, but I hadn't thought of them. For example, using a comb to hold tiny nails or brads (p. 24). Another example, filling the bathtub with water before caulking between it and the wall, to eliminate the tub's movement which would crack the caulk (p. 127).

We borrowed the book from the local library; I can't seem to get the book away from my wife, and she isn't usually given to reading such books.

Illustrations are excellent. Projects are described in a step-by-step manner, making it easy to follow.
