It's like "How Stuff Works" on steroids. Check the table of contents before buying to see what's discussed. I've browsed this book and have found information I couldn't find on the Internet because I didn't know what to search for. The instructions in this book have inspired confidence in me to do vehicle work more complicated than an oil change or tire change. If you care for repairing transmissions or engines, those topics are discussed too. <br /> <br />Automotive Technology has just about everything I hoped it would have. 4.5 stars due to some editing errors and electronics explanations I thought could have been worded better, so 5 stars with rounding.

I use it to brush up on particular areas before looking into service manual. Saves a lot of time and head scratching.

He was an instructor at a college I attended in the 90's. Without a doubt, one of the most interesting men I've ever met. I am still in the automotive industry and have been for ten years. I will undoubtedly be learning from Jack my whole life. This is probably the 4th book from Jack Erjavec that I have read. He was an instructor at a college I attended in the 90’s.
