4 out of 5 stars A must have for all drivers!   November 4, 2009

This book was bought after some significant research. I wanted a simplistic book that anyone who drives, especially their own vehicle would appreciate and understand about the basic workings of a car and its systems. The author presents the information accurately and in a manner which presents the reading as somewhat light, not as if one were reading a textbook.

My wife took a flip through and told me that she would like to read it too! The book would have been made even better with a little colour to the pictures and diagrams.

All in all, an excellent addition to my automotive library!

Easy to read and understand. Illustrations are easy to follow. Purchased for my 14 year old grandson and he loves it.

Great book. Received it in great condition, and I find it very simple and helpful. It explains the name of car parts and their functions. The picture alongside of the text helps to understand how the pieces go together, and then you can imagine how that corresponds to your individual car.

This is a good book. Ignore all of the 1-2 star reviews for this book, those people simply lack the ability to read. This book is only a very basic introduction to the general mechanics of a car, this book does not try to sell itself to be a Chilton's guide. So those who bought it and were disappointed at that fact and gave it a bad review.....they simply lack the ability to read a book description, their bad not the book's. If you're looking for a book that will teach the basic mechanics of a car from combustion to the wheels turning, this is a good book. Reads at a young teenage level but still good for adults.


3 out of 5 stars Lots of Pictures - Not Enought Explanation   February 3, 2009

I was disappointed with this book - it was not very informative. Thankfully, I bought Mary Jackson's "Car Smarts" at the same time, so I ended up using this as a reference guide for that book.
