In this complicated four-wheeled world, are you uncertain or confused about car maintenance? Don't despair! There are things—lots of things—you can do to prevent your car from acting up, breaking down, and just plain falling apart.

You don't need years of experience and a garage full of fancy tools. You can save money on repairs (and carry on a halfway intelligent conversation with a mechanic). This book, through clear illustrations, plain English—and a touch of humor—will show you how to keep your car running smoothly and looking good.

In Simple Car Care & Repair you'll find:

• Up-to-date, down-to-earth advice from master mechanics on how to troubleshoot problems, avoid them in the future, and get the most out of your car, van, or truck.
• Money-saving tips on how to choose the safest tires, the best wax, the least expensive gas
• Illustrated explanations on how to handle maintenance and scores of simple repairs, from changing a headlight to touching up scratches
• Special sections on emergency repairs and how to locate hard-to-find parts and service bulletins. Plus unique "Hey, What's Wrong With My Car?" checklists you can fill out and give to your mechanic when you bring your car in for repairs

It's all inside, from the friendly do-it-yourself experts at The Family Handiman.
