While this version features a new Dummies cover and design, the content is the same as the prior release and should not be considered a new or updated product. The top-selling auto repair guide--400,000 copies sold--now extensively reorganized and updated Forty-eight percent of U.S. households perform at least some automobile maintenance on their own, with women now accounting for one third of this $34 billion automotive do-it-yourself market. For new or would-be do-it-yourself mechanics, this illustrated how-to guide has long been a must and now it's even better. A complete reorganization now puts relevant repair and maintenance information directly after each automotive system overview, making it much easier to find hands-on fix-it instructions. Author Deanna Sclar has updated systems and repair information throughout, eliminating discussions of carburetors and adding coverage of hybrid and alternative fuel vehicles. She's also revised schedules for tune-ups and oil changes, included driving tips that can save on maintenance and repair costs, and added new advice on troubleshooting problems and determining when to call in a professional mechanic. For anyone who wants to save money on car repairs and maintenance, this book is the place to start. Deanna Sclar (Long Beach, CA), an acclaimed auto repair expert and consumer advocate, has contributed to the Los Angeles Times and has been interviewed on the Today show, NBC Nightly News, and other television programs. Review: Basic car mechanics - I found this very helpful, maybe defunked for those with electric cars, but still an interesting book to read. Review: Wealth of knowledge - First off this book wasn't for me I'm a fully qualified mechanic and have 25 years experience, I bought it for my brother kind of as a joke because he had recently changed his spark plugs and said "I'm a mechanic now".... I usually fix his and every one else's cars anyway but its also so he could look and do simple things himself if he wanted, when it arrived I had a flick through and was pleasantly surprised at how much information is in here, It doesn't have many pictures but you can easily identify the parts by going into Google, you'd probably be better off getting a haynes manual for your exact car but this is nice to have I guess as it has little hacks in it for when things don't go as planned which is something I've spent years learning out for myself. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 58,919 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 25 in Automotive Repair 33 in Home Improvement Guides 34 in Automobile Engineering | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 2,153 Reviews | ## Images ![Auto Repair For Dummies, 2nd Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81HI1Z+DBNL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic car mechanics *by A***R on 8 February 2026* I found this very helpful, maybe defunked for those with electric cars, but still an interesting book to read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wealth of knowledge *by D***N on 8 May 2024* First off this book wasn't for me I'm a fully qualified mechanic and have 25 years experience, I bought it for my brother kind of as a joke because he had recently changed his spark plugs and said "I'm a mechanic now".... I usually fix his and every one else's cars anyway but its also so he could look and do simple things himself if he wanted, when it arrived I had a flick through and was pleasantly surprised at how much information is in here, It doesn't have many pictures but you can easily identify the parts by going into Google, you'd probably be better off getting a haynes manual for your exact car but this is nice to have I guess as it has little hacks in it for when things don't go as planned which is something I've spent years learning out for myself. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A gem of a book *by D***. on 27 June 2014* Very well written book, with calm explanation of things that appear complex until someone explains them to you, and sometimes there is no one who could. I would highly recommend this to everyone who just got his / her first car, as it will greatly reduce the stress of having to care about a pleasant, but expensive and fragile thing you've got. One thing I don't like in this book is that it uses imperial units. It's only good for USA, as the rest of the world uses metric system. So, miles per gallon and things like that just make me to get the point, not the fact, and I like getting facts. I would recommend author to get a calculator and create a "World" edition of this book. ## Frequently Bought Together - Auto Repair For Dummies - CAR BASICS PARTS & SYSTEMS: Learn how your car works, Internal combustion engine, Car Science, engine parts, - Car Mechanics Made Easy --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/85686170-auto-repair-for-dummies-2nd-edition](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/85686170-auto-repair-for-dummies-2nd-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-26*
