Forty-eight percent of American households perform at least some automotive maintenance on their own, women accounting for one third of this $34 billion automotive DIY market. For new or would-be hobby mechanics, this how-to guide is perfect for getting your feet wet and learning how to jump into the art of knuckle busting and wrench turning. Not everyone has a shop, garage, or even a driveway for do-it-yourself repairs, this audiobook makes it easy for anyone trying to save money or start a side hustle.

I know many of us have always wanted to know how to do some of the repairs for our vehicles. Not just to save on the cost of having repairs and maintenance done, but because we see it being done so easily on t.v., we see others doing it, etc. But many times when we open the car bonnet/hood we realize we know very little. So thanks to this book, I am more confident in wanting to do more of the maintenance and repairs for my vehicle myself.

A good book for automotive repair

This book walked me through all the basics of repairing cars from car terminology, tools used, how to diagnose simple problems, and more. When I emailed the publisher, they sent me a full color PDF of all the images referenced in the book, and I was able to follow along easily. I can’t wait to get a fixer-upper in my garage!

I got this for my husband because he like to fix cars. But he doesn’t know much about cars except oils change and change tires. But now he knows more stuff like how to diagnose when the car has problems. I recommended for men who wants to fix cars and maintenance and save some money!

Great guide for beginner!
