Useful Reference
Don't expect to buy this book and be able to produce professional quality repairs! It is a useful reference to give you an idea on how to approach jobs, but a perfect finish is usually only going to come from a specialist body repairer.

Valuable guide of 'to how to do it best' a positive purchase
This book is very clear and explains in a user friendly way how to repair the bodywork of a car. It is a useful manual for the novice and expert alike for reference and reassurance purposes.

I found this a great guide to look at when you're thinking "am i doing this right?". It is also more in depth than the standard Haynes books, so the information is thorough and accurate.

I would definitely recommend this book
