Customer Reviews

Ideal book for anyone who deals with repairing cars
This book goes from the basics in each chapter, to help understand principles,through to using test equipment correctly.
Well written, using non-tecnical terms through out the book, but not lacking in information.
It has 160+ pages of car diagnosics alone, all areas including up-to-date fuel mangament & sensors(40+ pages), plus 60'ish pages on using equipment & basic fault finding, great for the full time mechanics.
As a 'Advanced hobby mechanic' found a great read, will help me in the future. Found it worth the price.
