Teaches a valuable skill!

Very useful! It touches on building experience with working on automobiles by getting your hands dirty and staying safe in the process. The narrator is clear, making the information simple to digest. Highly recommended to those that want to save money from car shops and maintain your vehicle yourself instead!

A good book for automotive repair

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.

Very informative and helpful!

This audiobook is the perfect started guide for automotive repairs and maintenance. I have learned quite a bit from this book and the narration was great. I would definitely recommend this audiobook to anyone looking to do their own vehicle maintenance.

Informative!

After listening to this book my expectations were exceeded. I learned a lot about automotive after I already thought I knew everything haha.

Great info for a newbie!

This book was chock-full of great information for anyone who wants to take control of their own car maintenance. The basics were explained in an easy to follow style that a complete neophyte like me could understand. I appreciated the chapters on tools needed to get started as well as safety precautions to be aware of. I am feeling empowered! Thank you!

The content is very informative.

This book taught me automotive terminology, how to use tools, and how to diagnose simple mechanical problems. The narration is excellent. I highly recommend this book. Worth listening to.

Excellent Guide!

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!

Excellent!

Excellent all round. Very informative and useful too. Best thing about this hobby is it can actually save you a lot of money too!

Great guide for beginner!

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!
