Auto Upkeep: Basic Car Care, Maintenance, and Repair ... (ISBN 0974079227)

Home Educating Fam makes this book required:
We are a Home Educating family (12th year) and have 2 teenagers and 2 more coming up. After reviewing this book online, we ordered a copy, along with 2 workbooks as our son had requested "Auto Shop" as an elective this year. It is our primary text for the first semester, covering everything from purchasing your car to maintenance/repairs and basic auto care. Our son is getting more out of it than we could hope for and wants to know when there will be a sequel on 'customizing' your car! =) We decided to make it a required course/text for all teens in our fam who are looking to purchase/own their own car. We highly recommend it!!! Oh, and the CD that comes with the kit puts the 'icing on the cake', including all the administrative extras you, as instructor, will need.+++

if you don't know about cars...:
... buy this book. This is a must have for anyone who don't know anything about cars and is buying a new one o wants to learn about car basics.

Perfect Book for any class:
I just started using this book and the workbook for a high school class that I teach, and hope to get a class set for next year! Finding this book made my automobile lessons a million times easier and better, and helped me explained things to my students much more clearly than I was able to in the past. The step-by-step pictures and directions in the activities, the diagrams, and the details of this book are wonderful. My students are at the age where they're preparing to drive and own a vehicle... this is the perfect book for my classroom!

Great for beginners:
This is a great product for those looking to learn the very basics about car engines and car care. It gives a good, brief overview of how the major components of the engine work and even some care tips on basic maintenance procedures such as changing the air filter and oil.

Great book for class:
I am currently teaching "Automotive Ownership" to high school students and I am using this book as a reference. It is a great book to give students the basic information about owning a vehicle. Many of my students do not know how a car works or how to treat their car, by the end of class they are prepared to own a automobile. Great book and I suggest it to other teachers with a similar class. Craig Christensen St. Ansgar HS St. Ansgar, IA
