Editorial Review: Product Description: Preventive care isn't a mystery known only to professional auto mechanics, but rather a set of simple steps you can do yourself if you understand the "ingredients" that go into making your vehicle run. Recipes for Car Care is designed to enable you to perform preventative maintenance on your vehicle to lengthen its life while saving you money. This book covers everything from locating the hood latch to performing basic maintenance tasks such as oil changes to dealing confidently with professional mechanics and car manufacturers. Whether you are a novice at do-it-yourself automotive care or an experienced home mechanic, Recipes for Car Care will show you how to complete necessary car maintenance as easily as you would follow the "recipes" of a cookbook.

 Rating: - Yes!If you know nothing about cars, this is the perfect book to start with! It doesn't teach you how to do complicated repairs; mainly it gives you a thorough explanation of how cars work, and it also shows you how to test how well certain car parts are functioning and how to do simpler procedures like replacing filters and valves.

Now I can determine when my brake pads are worn before it is too late. I can also speak intelligently to my mechanic when there is a problem. This book is priceless!! Rating: - Everyone should keep this in their car!What a great idea! Car repair, even in small doses can be very intimidating. Recipes for Car Care takes the mystery out of the most simple procedures...things that will come up for all of us that own cars.
