Title: Car Smarts: An Easy-To-Use Guide to Understanding Your Car and Communicating With Your Mechanic by Mary Jackson ISBN: 1-56261-457-6 Publisher: Avalon Travel Publishing Pub. Date: December, 1998 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $17.95 |

Summary: Transform yourself to a 'real' car owner
Comment: What I like most about this book is the simple, direct, logical presentation style of the author. The explanation method always starts with a simplified reference to a human body, then a direct comparison with the actual car part. So you could analogically grasp how the part works and deduce logically on how to take care of that part or how to deal with the associated problems.
Aside from that this book also explains very well the necessary terms such as tire size/codes, the meaning of 15W40 for the car oil, etc.
With all of that, this book does not make you a car genius, but you would be far from giving your car technician a zero-knowledge customer impression.
The downside: the troubleshooting section at the end of each chapter is probably better off left out as it's very general and of little value. A better approach would be to incorporate them as examples, with logical guidance on solving the problem.
This book is a good starting material for people who has zero background in automobiles (most of us are, including myself), it would not, however, be comprehensive enough for people who has strong interest in cars.
I would love to see a second series by the same author for readers who graduated from her current book.

Summary: A Great Book for Beginners
Comment: This book is great. It covers all the main points with money saving tips. This book has it all and it explains it in a very easy no fuss way with hundreds of diagrams.
Rating: 5
Summary: Exactly what I was looking for. Great book.
Comment: When I decided I wanted to learn a little bit more about what makes my car tick, and perhaps find out on my own what that annoying (and fairly bad sounding) whir was, I decided to check online for a few introductive books. This was the best one I found. It explained everything in a very intuitive and helpful manner. I recommend it to anyone curious about what their amazing automobile really is, and why it took so long for them to come about. Yes, they're pretty complicated, but a whole lot of fun when you figure them out.
