Reviews
The photographs and illustrations are very good and the art work is also good quality. I like the cutaway pictures and the close-ups, it gives the students a good idea of what they are supposed to be looking at. Writing style and tone are great. The material is good for starting out in the automotive field gives a very good overview of the different systems of the automobile. The text is very clear with good visual aids to help the student understand the material. The book is complete with up to date material very applicable to today's automobile., The table of contents is excellent. The overall content is very accurate and complete, and mostly up-to-date. I really like the review questions, especially the multiple choice. I think the photographs and illustrations really add to the value of this book. Especially helpful for beginning students. For most of our students, level is perfect. I really like Tim's approach, tone, and writing style. Having used this book for several years and several editions, I know each edition is always improved over the last, even being a great book as is., The artwork and photographs are nicely done. There is a well-balanced amount of illustrations vs. pictures. The content covers all of the major content chunks (safety, tools, major systems, adjustment, repair, diagnostics). The ASE questions cover lots of content and are well written.

    Great transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe
