Automotive Service: Inspection, Maintenance, Repair 6th Edition

Very knowledgeable for those that are going into.the automotive field

Great book. Well detailed. The Price is reasonable.

This book covers just about everything you ever wanted to know about automotive repair. It is a BIG and HEAVY book, over 1700 pages total. It is published by Cengage, the same company that makes the Today's Technician series.. which I am a big fan of and own all 8 volumes of automotive service. I do have to give the edge to the Today's Tech series over this massive book though. As great as Tim Gilles is with this book, the other series is goes into MUCH more detail on service and repair. The key is that today's tech series is a 2 volume set, so an entire separate book is dedicated to service and repair. This book has many chapters but I do find it lacking in some areas, especially the Drum Brake service chapter and the A/C service chapter. Overall it is a great supplement to other auto repair books, but for complete auto service... look to the Today's tech series, it's fantastic.

It was as complete as I expected. Previously, I had another tech book from another book from another author and I wanted an update with the newer information. I am pleased with this edition.

Up to date, complete resource with current key terms, easy to read colored headings. Must have. for technicians.

I bought this for my hubby for his birthday. His dream is to become an auto-mechanic and I thought this would be a great push in the direction that he wants. I only skimmed through the pages a bit, but was impressed with the amount of information in it as well as the illustrations and tests. Looks exactly like the textbooks that are required for college/uni. There are 1686 pages worth of information, which excludes the glossary and index. I will update further once he has had a chance to read some of it.

Arrived as promised, in excellent condition. Would have preferred more diagrams, but otherwise a solid investment for someone preparing to re-enter the car universe.

This is a complete book. Not just about engines and stuff, it also includes HSE and management.
