The top-selling auto repair guide--400,000 copies sold--now extensively reorganized and updated

Forty-eight percent of U.S. households perform at least some automobile maintenance on their own, with women now accounting for one third of this $34 billion automotive do-it-yourself market. For new or would-be do-it-yourself mechanics, this illustrated how-to guide has long been a must and now it's even better. A complete reorganization now puts relevant repair and maintenance information directly after each automotive system overview, making it much easier to find hands-on fix-it instructions. Author Deanna Sclar has updated systems and repair information throughout, eliminating discussions of carburetors and adding coverage of hybrid and alternative fuel vehicles. She's also revised schedules for tune-ups and oil changes, included driving tips that can save on maintenance and repair costs, and added new advice on troubleshooting problems and determining when to call in a professional mechanic. For anyone who wants to save money on car repairs and maintenance, this book is the place to start.

Deanna Sclar (Long Beach, CA), an acclaimed auto repair expert and consumer advocate, has contributed to the Los Angeles Times and has been interviewed on the Today show, NBC Nightly News, and other television programs.

Insider's Guide to Buying a New or Used Car

Buy Now

The world has been waiting for this: a book about buying a car written by the owners of a car lot! The fact that this coupling of subject and authors' vocation could easily be a laughing matter may make many readers hesitate to put their trust in what are, after all, the words of used-car salespeople. But in this case, that trust would be well placed. The Leons' consumer guide is no-nonsense and low-key and provides point-by-point coverage, from the first chapter, "Setting the Stage for the Car-buying Process," to the last, "Deal Makers and Breakers." Their attention to detail is admirable, yet the Leons don't let it inextractably bog down their prose. They put themselves squarely in the consumer's corner, which, after all, is exactly what a good salesperson strives to seem to do. So be forewarned and forearmed: consult Leon and Leon before trading or buying. They will have you covered like a loud sport coat.
