| About
This Book
Whether you're trying to cut expenses, are tired of being
patronized, or have just fallen in love with your first car,
this book tells you how your car works, what it needs in the
way of tender loving care, and how to keep from getting ripped
off if you have to entrust repairs to someone else. By handling
the simple maintenance and tune-ups and being
able to diagnose trouble and per¬form the less complex
repairs yourself, you'll earn the respect of your family,
your mechanic, and your car - and you'll feel pretty good
about it!
In this book,
I introduce you to the wonders of the internal combustion
engine and to the even more wondrous newfangled engines of
the future. After you get familiar with the principal parts
and systems involved, I gently lead you into basic maintenance
and repair tasks that you can do yourself. Don't worry about
getting in over your head. If a repair can get you into trou¬ble
if you attempt to do it yourself, I tell you how to be sure
the work is done properly by a professional at a fair price.
I also warn you when you should tackle a job only with an
experienced friend or automotive teacher at your elbow. So
don't chicken out on me! Start with the easy stuff and then
take on the more challenging tasks. You'll love yourself for
it, and your vehicle will love you, too. Believe me, I've
been there....
