Car Care (What You Should Know)

About the Book

Each section identifies and explains the parts and components of every automobile and points out the similarities in all operations. Although different by manufacture design, body style, and operation, cars are all the same. The ability to go from point "A" to point "B" would be the main function, but comfort and ease of driving is also important when operating an automobile. Proper care or cleaning of vehicles helps maintain their value for longer periods of time, plus prevents fewer problems with their overall operation. Fewer mechanical breakdowns would mean less time in the repair shop and more savings on unwanted repair bills. The fact that labor charges have increased tremendously in the last ten years is reason enough to limit trips to repair shops. Knowing how to barter or negotiate a fair price for services rendered also lessens the costs of repairs. Service writers, technicians, and estimators will not have an advantage, once they realize customers understand enough to keep them from giving misleading or false information.
