Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - OK
Some good pointers in the book, but not as well organized as it might be.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An excellent general-interest guide.
Dan Ramsey's CAR CARE AND REPAIR ILLUSTRATED (0028644328, $18.95) is for any newcomer to car repair and care - the perfect gift for the teen: it provides easy checks to maintain performance, step-by-step instructions for common auto repairs, advice on preventative maintenance and more. An excellent general-interest guide.
