easy to learn fromNov 20, 2009
By Jeffrey Butts
I bought this book for an automotive class I was in. This book contains about 74 chapters.Although each chapter can seem quite long to many students, it does cover everything from a brief history to the different parts of the car to how things work to testing to repair. This book also covers hand tools, perer tools, engin oil, shop equipment, safety, and different jobs one might get. This book is also easy to learn from using everyday language. This book was designed to be used in the shop. Although this book discusses meserments, I think it's a very good idea to Arithmetic and basic geometry skills such as angles.

The only textbook I will ever keepJul 07, 2009
By Shane Conway
I bought this book for my auto shop class I took at the Community college during my senior year of high school. I din't really need the book for class but it was great for the open book tests we had. My Auto shop teacher strongly suggested to hold on to it for future reference.
