  • How Cars Run

    Take a look inside a car to see how it works. Covers all automotive systems on all foreign and domestic cars manufactured in the past 25 years.

  • Your Car

    How Cars Run offered an overview of the typical car. But all cars aren’t created equal. Some have more valves than others. Some need better gasoline or oil or more frequent maintenance. Some take four hours to change a part that can be serviced on another car in ten minutes.

    So this section introduces you to your car (or cars, or trucks, or SUVs). And it helps you figure out just what it’s going to take to care for and repair it. You may decide to do all maintenance and repair yourself—or just the easy stuff. In any case, you’ll decide because you know your car.

  • Parts and Tools

    In this section you’ll learn how to change your car’s oil, check and replace other vital fluids, replace the air filter, and change dozens of worn-out parts. You’ll also learn how to troubleshoot and repair just about any problem on your car. For these tasks you’ll need parts and tools.

    This section offers practical tips on finding cost-effective parts and using good-quality tools. Even if you don’t own a single tool yet nor have ever visited an auto parts store you’ll find answers here—including “How much of this can I do myself.”

  • Car Resources

    You’re making progress! You now know how cars work—and you know more about your car. You’ve also discovered how to get parts and tools when you need them.

    Fortunately, you have even more resources available to you. Besides parts stores and shop manuals mentioned in previous sections your car will benefit from having an expert nearby, whether it’s a person or an Internet website, or both.
