"I borrowed a slew of car care books from the library to judge which one I'd like to own. Note: this book is not written by a mechanic. Instead, the authors learned basic car care and then passed it on to the reader. They claim to have had every section of the book approved/vetted by the various institutions involved in the automobile industry (manufacturers, government agencies, associations, nonprofits, etc.). Personally, I rather read a book written by a mechanic. That said, since it wasn't written by mechanics, it covers topics such as child safety and detailing. However, of the books from the library (there were 4), this one comes in second. The diagrams aren't as good as the Lisa Christensen book, but they are better than Lucille Treganowan book. As far as knowledge, I'd say it fits in between the previously mentioned books. Since this book is newest of the four (i believe), it covers new topics such as hybrids and keyless entry. I'd recommend this book over Lucille's if you're interested in more of the mechanical side rather than what an ambitious soccer mom may want to undertake."
"This is a great starting place to learn about how cars work, as well as maintenance, especially if you have zero prior knowledge of the subject. I think I'll move on to something more in depth."
