Description: Auto Repair For Dummies, 2nd Edition (9781119543619) was previously published as Auto Repair For Dummies, 2nd Edition (9780764599026). While this version features a new Dummies cover and design, the content is the same as the prior release and should not be considered a new or updated product. The top-selling auto repair guide--400,000 copies sold--now extensively reorganized and updated Forty-eight percent of U.S. households perform at least some automobile maintenance on their own, with women now accounting for one third of this $34 billion automotive do-it-yourself market. For new or would-be do-it-yourself mechanics, this illustrated how-to guide has long been a must and now it's even better. A complete reorganization now puts relevant repair and maintenance information directly after each automotive system overview, making it much easier to find hands-on fix-it instructions. Author Deanna Sclar has updated systems and repair information throughout, eliminating discussions of carburetors and adding coverage of hybrid and alternative fuel vehicles. She's also revised schedules for tune-ups and oil changes, included driving tips that can save on maintenance and repair costs, and added new advice on troubleshooting problems and determining when to call in a professional mechanic. For anyone who wants to save money on car repairs and maintenance, this book is the place to start. Deanna Sclar (Long Beach, CA), an acclaimed auto repair expert and consumer advocate, has contributed to the Los Angeles Times and has been interviewed on the Today show, NBC Nightly News, and other television programs.

Review: Really this is a very general introduction to car components and systems intermingled with a great deal of padding. Telling readers how to 'complain effectively' has nothing to do with auto repair. The general trawl through adaptive cruise control, rollover stability, etc may be of some interest but has nothing to do with maintenance or repair. The jaunty style can irritate. Telling readers that something is obvious and then going on to describe it anyway can be jarring. But I have to say I ended up feeling much warmer to the book than I sound so far. It doesn't really tell you how to repair anything much, but it probably answers two questions for people like me who know very little about cars: 1. Is it reasonable to expect to tackle your problem yourself, and 2. what should you do next? That's a start and it's worth the purchase price.
