Summary: This is a must for any real car enthusiast!
Comment: Reading 'Auto Fundamentals' is like taking a college Auto Tech class at your own leasure! Pretty much every question you have about the fundamental automotive systems WILL be answered by the time you finish this textbook. This is an absolute must-read for anyone looking to get into an automotive field, no matter what branch. Plenty of pictures (with thier own accompanying explanations) are placed throughout the book to give you plenty of visual aides to go along with the text. Although this is an excellent read, there are a few parts of the book that can overwhelm you (eg. automatic transmissions/transaxles and power steering systems we're so over my head I had to skip those chapters). The author goes into extreme detail at the beginning of the book, but that detail kind of tapers off near the end. Not so much that you won't be able to comprehend what your reading, but enough that it may get a little frustrating to read. I'm still giving this 5 stars though, it more than deserves it for it's wide variety of content and (for the most part) clarity.

Summary: Awesome book!
Comment: As an avid car lover, I have always wanted to know what makes them "tick". With literally no prior automotive experience, this book fit my needs exactly! You, too, will be talking "compression ratios" and "camshafts" in no time at all! And this book makes it fun to learn, easy to learn, and is simply enjoyable to read, put down for a bit, read some more, etc....
I looked at several other books as well (Bosch, ACE, etc.), but this is the best $40 I have ever spent!
Now, I'll be able to talk with the mechanics about my repairs, and help to make sure I am not getting taken for a ride! Plus, I can now understand what makes my 'Vette go 180+ mph! Yeee-Hah!

Summary: This book is just incredible
Comment: I purchased this book to gain a better understanding of the inner workings of engines. I was a bit hesitant at first because of the somewhat high price tag, but after reading only the first part of the book, the amount of knowledge I have gained is priceless. The book is incredibly detailed but everything is explained quite clearly and in easy to understand laymans terms. The authors have taken a very technical engineering subject and have successfully made it enjoyable to read. The abundance and clarity of diagrams and technical cut-away drawings in the book is astounding. Everytime I turn the page I found myself saying 'Wow!', then spending 10 minutes looking at all the cool pictures before I begin reading. If you are thinking about becoming a do-it-yourself mechanic or just want to know anything and everything about the workings of automobiles, this book is excellent.
