Customer Reviews

Anyone can learn to check THE FIVE FLUIDS!

Thanks Karen! Now I can have something productive to do when I open the hood. Using the book's 5 fluid checklist gives me more choices. I can either do it myself of let the techs at Jiffy Lube do it for me. Either way, I know a lot more than I did before about the 5 fluids and the systems they monitor.

Great resource tool for women AND men

Karen has written a wonderful illumination of car basics, focusing on the mechanically-challenged (women like me). From the Five Basic Fluids to showing why you should consider an older car over purchasing a brand new one, Karen's easy-to-read text leads you down the path to new knowledge. I feel I can converse with my car now, rather than just running to the nearest male for help. The world is mine.
