The Car Care World: How to Get Your Car Fixed Without Being Taken for a Ride

We all need mechanics, yet half of us don't trust them. The Car Care World is a collection of humorous factual auto advice columns. Easy reads, these pearls of wisdom are written in consumer-advocate style by an experienced mechanic. The sometimes contentious viewpoints of owners and mechanics are discussed with humor. Some of the reasons for the distrust are explored, and some solutions are offered. The reader will begin to understand whom to trust and when to trust them. This is not a book about how to fix your own car, although hundreds of repair tips are presented, along with solid advice about necessary and unnecessary repairs to today's cars. It is a series of stories that will enlighten you about getting a car fixed by professionals without being duped, whether you "know cars" or not.
