About Cars How This Book Is Organized If you're eager to get started (or at least willing to read on while reserving judgment), then let me tell you a bit about what this book does and doesn't cover. Basically, it covers everything you need to know to care for and main tain your vehicle, from what tools you need (whether you borrow or buy them), to how to perform a tune-up, to how to fix common problems. To help you find information easily, this book is divided into six parts, each contain¬ing chapters that deal with a particular topic. The following sections describe the information that you can find in each part. Part 1: Getting Started If you want the basics, this is the part for you. I cover things that everyone who drives should know, like how decide whether you want to do a job your¬self, how to get the hood open, how to use a jack and change a tire, and how to take anything apart and put it back together again. A monthly under-the¬hood check that can prevent 70 percent of highway breakdowns, and a bunch of easy repair jobs, should transform you from an "I-can't-do-it-myselfer" into a hands-on mechanic. I also describe the tools that you'll need at one time or another if you plan to do regular maintenance and simple repairs, and I give you pointers on what you can borrow and what you should buy.             1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10
