Sinossi

"The worst thing a customer can do is put the keys on the table and tell the mechanic, 'Fix it.' It's like giving him a blank check."
- Lisa Christensen

A huge purchase and commitment, cars are more complex and expensive to maintain and car owners are becoming less involved in their maintenance and repair.

Written by a licensed mechanic and diagnostic specialist, Clueless About Cars explains in simple terms how to deal with car maintenance and repair. This user-friendly book describes the major systems of the automobile, what can go wrong and how to prevent breakdowns. Step-by-step instructions are provided for do-it-yourself basic automotive repairs and engine maintenance.

The chapters covering safety provide vital advice on:

  • Tires
  • Brakes
  • Suspension
  • Steering
  • Dealing with emergencies.

The book translates automotive jargon into clear language and explains what owners can realistically do for themselves and when to see a mechanic. A separate chapter is devoted to revealing tricks of the trade. Also included are suggestions on how to understand a mechanic and how to buy or sell a car. Filled with amusing anecdotes, Clueless About Cars is written for both novice car owners as well as experienced drivers who want a better sense of control.
