I took auto shop in high school, and this was our textbook for the subject. It really is a terrific book to have. You may have a Haynes manual for your vehicle, but that only tells you how to remove and replace objects. This tells you WHAT every object is, where's it located, and how it functions. Absolutely Invaluable. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this book. So do my parents. Over the years we have done just about everything there is to do on our vehicle, and we wouldn't of been able to do that without the complete understanding of what makes an engine tick in a certain area. This book was made and designed to teach 14 yr. olds the basics of auto-mechanics; and this book does just that. It's very, very easy to comprehend. You'll be amazed at the ease of learning such a " complicated " subject. You'll know more about how an engine works than you thought possible. If you think you're dumbstruck when it comes to this subject, think again. Very easy to learn. Plus the subjects are like that in a haynes manual: they're under categories for easy access. The ONLY complaint I have about this book is that there aren't page numbers on every page. They'll be a page number, then 25 pages later another page number. A little exasperating, but I just took 5 minutes of my time and put the page numbers on myself...no big deal. At the very least = worth the effort. Anyways, I just had to share how AWESOME this book is. It really is a Must-Have item. I hope this review was helpful. Enjoy fixing your vehicle........BYE
