Customer Reviews

Good Buy

This book is very detailed and informative for the average DIY automotive mechanic. I do recommend the book.

Great Book for to Learn Some Car Basics

This book has almost everything. Very technical, but well thought out. It will not necessarily get your car fixed, but it is a great addition to any Haynes or Chilton manual (which sometimes leave out some of those important facts). Highly recommend.

good investment

Much of what I learnt early on about cars comes from reading this excellent book. I still have my 1981 edition and after paging through the newer ones I see that it is still a great way to teach. If it doesnt go into as much detail as you like it will certainly point you in the right direction. My kid will definetly get a copy from santa.

Complexity explained simply.

Goodheart and Willcox are, convincingly, experts in auto technology as well as excellent writers and illustrators. As a certified master auto and truck technician, I often refer my customers to this book for straightforward understandable explanations of the goings on under the hood. When my customer understands how a system operates, he or she is more willing to accept a diagnosis, because it makes sense and the black magic attitude is gone. The automotive encyclopedia has been available since the 70's and each addition is packed with the latest developments that the car manufactures employ to make cars more, fun, economical, and, necessarily, more complex. Goodheart and Willcox are to be congratulated on this and past editions of this wonderful reference guide. Just wonderful.Jim McGrath, ASE Master Auto/Truck Technician, Electrical Engineer
