Book Description
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 preventative 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.

Book Description
Despite the many advances women have made since the internal combustion engine was invented, there is still one widely held belief that won’t seem to go away: that when it comes to cars, women should just leave it to the men. In Essential Car Care for Women, ESPN NASCAR pit reporter Jamie Little and Discovery Channel "Turbo Expert” Danielle McCormick team up to dispel this myth once and for all—and to offer the indispensable, hard-won advice women need to buy, sell, and care for their cars with confidence. With this handy guide, women will learn how to save themselves money by performing basic—but essential—maintenance tasks on their own. Little and McCormick explain what an alternator, regulator, distributor, and timing belt are; how to change a tire, recharge a flat battery, check the oil, and assess tire pressure; what to do when a car breaks down or when an accident occurs; how to buy a car without being taken advantage of; and more. Straightforward and easy to follow—and including simple step-by-step diagrams and pictures to help along the way—Essential Car Care for Women is the ultimate handbook to everything a woman should know about her set of wheels.

But not just for the sake of loving cars, for the sake of having and driving a car that will last a lifetime (or even longer). Who benefits from this book? - Those who want to get into the auto industry but don't have a clue where to start. - Car owners who want to extend the life of their car. - Car sellers who aren't licensed mechanics, but still need to get their vehicles into shape before putting them on the market. - New drivers who haven't previously needed to worry about maintaining a vehicle. - People who are tired of spending $1,000+ on repairs that could have taken them 10 minutes and a $5 tool to fix before a problem ever arises. - ANYONE who wants to know more about preventative auto maintenance. The main benefit that you get from this book is the knowledge that you can apply not only to your own cars and vehicles, but also those of your friends and family. Here's a few of the topics you'll find in this book: - Gassing up, when to do it and when not to - Idling and how long is long enough or too long - Driving with loads, towing 'stuff' - Speeds, hot/cold speeds and more - A/C and air in the car - Car insuring - Keychain "anchors" and the devastation it can cause - Car batteries - Washing and detailing your car - Car interior - Car exterior - Batteries - Lights - Tires rims and hubcaps - Oil changing - Hoses - Where to park and where not to - Belts - Engines and transmissions - Leaky radiators and what to do - Coolant - AND MUCH MORE.

So go ahead and start reading this book, follow the tips you didn't know previously, take note of the tips you already knew, and of course make sure you share the knowledge and wealth with your friends and family. The goal I had for this book was to help as many people as I could to understand their vehicle more, and more importantly to help you spend less money on repairs and more on well... everything else that costs money in this world. Enjoy the book, and enjoy the thousands of dollars you'll save over the next few years. It will be the first time your friend has a horrible car issue that YOU know you prevented in your own car - THAT is when you'll thank yourself for reading this book.
