Long description
In the crowded field of handbooks about car maintenance, this book is unique in that it is not your typical petrol-head's guide to car maintenance: it has a sense of humour and an attitude and is written with women in mind. The Garage Girl's Guide to Everything You Need to Know About Your Car provides tips for proper car care and a guide to preventive maintenance to keep your motor in top form. The book discusses everything from basic maintenance to customising a car. Readers will learn: how to familiarise themselves with everything under the bonnet; the essentials of car maintenance, from oil changes to setting up an emergency kit for the boot; how to keep tires in top form, spot problems early on, and choose the right replacements; what to do when the car sounds funny, smells funny, or acts funny; how to change a tire, swap a fuse, cool down a radiator, and jump-start a vehicle.
