This updated edition introduces readers to the three areas of concern that car consumers typically face: learning about the major systems of a car; the basics of inspection and maintenance; and the financial aspects of owning and operating an automobile.

Each section of the car is broken down into systems and subsystems to help learners digest important concepts. The common tools needed to perform car maintenance and various minor repairs are also identified.

A segment on building a preventive maintenance program is included which can be tailored to car owners' needs, driving styles, and climate.

Finally, coverage is devoted to the financial aspects of the car, including buying and selling, insurance considerations, and the benefits of modern day leasing.

Features:

• Basic knowledge of car care is delivered in easy-to-understand language without getting to in depth into theory and other technical issues which might confuse the first time learner
• Abundant illustrations and photos clearly depict the components of the car and their locations, with cutaway views of the inside of various key systems
• To best introduce the car systems to the reader, information is general in nature, avoids model-specific cars and the differences between domestic and import vehicles
• Short and concise chapters deliver content in manageable chunks and are modular in format for flexible classroom presentation or self-study learning
• Content adequately prepares readers for more in-depth learning of advanced concepts
