Title: Excellent book
Review: This book is straight forward and teaches the basics of automotive. It also provides small tests to help you track your learning! I am learning fast and I am very happy with this book

Title: Was pleasantly surprised
Review: This book was actually very good at explaining automobiles in an oversimplified yet very clear and concise manner. It included a well-made drawing of each section it was descriptive for each section of a car ( engine , drive train, braking system , etc. etc.) - If you are new to learning automobiles and want to learn the basic foundation , I would absolutely recommend this one.A while back I ordered 3 small books on the subject to start learning , two were AI generated drivel and one was this book - thankfully. Included photo as proof as the other books had AI generated 5 star reviews.

Title: Such a good book
Review: I’m a newbie to cars and wanted to learn more about how cars work and I love this book. The quizzes at the end of each chapter are super helpful and the diagrams actually make sense. Sometimes I wish that the book went into more specifics on things like how a torque converter works or how a transaxle works with a transverse engine, but again it’s a book for beginners. Also all the words I just used I had no idea what they were before I read this book. It makes me feel a lot more confident so I won’t get screwed over by a mechanic.

Title: Worth Reading Though Imperfect
Review: The book is an enlightening, quick, and easy read. It has filled many gaps in my knowledge, making me a more informed consumer and shadetree mechanic. I recommend it to any owner of an ICE car.The book is imperfect. There is, unfortunately, at least one error. "FWD" is incorrectly used as an abbreviation for "four-wheel drive;" the correct abbreviation is "4WD."

Title: Beautifully simplistic!
Review: I’m no car expert and this book has helped me tremendously in grasping the fundamentals of automobile design and function, as well as what to specify to a mechanic when checking in for car repairs.

Title: Absolutely a GREAT book for learning about cars!
Review: I'm a recent mechanical engineering graduate and I (embarrassingly) was never that familiar with car engines. I perform all basic maintenance myself, but have never really done any in-depth repairs out of a combination of laziness and unfamiliarity with engines. Learning the basic 4-stroke engine cycle is one thing, but knowing how an engine and entire automobile is put together is a whole 'nother story.If you are totally unfamiliar with vehicle engines, or have some knowledge but are no expert mechanic by any means, I HIGHLY suggest purchasing this book. It follows a "one page per component" format, meaning every single page in the book is dedicated to a different component. I feel it's the perfect combination of being brief enough to make it easy to read and follow along, but detailed enough so that you really understand HOW components function, just just simply "what they do".The book covers all aspects of how cars work, not just engines. It goes into the steering system, powertrain, cooling system, brakes and parking brakes, electrical system, you name it! Obviously, with only one page dedicated to every component, you aren't going to get into the math/physics behind everything. Each page consists of, generally, statements about the component, its function, and how it interacts with other components to perform its intended function.I'm extremely glad that I purchased this book. If you want to have any idea (or a better idea) of what a mechanic or anyone else is talking about next time you hear the words "differential", "U-Joints", "cylinder head", etc., then buy this book!

Review: It is a concise book with good illustrations. It is easy to read and the material is written specifically for beginners.I had great service from the seller Ergodebooks. Due to shipping delays concerns because of COVID, Ergodebooks has been following up on the evolution of the shipping process all the way.I would buy from Ergodebooks again.

Review: Our son is due to start college on a mechanics course soon. This book has proved an excellent way to get him thinking about what is to come and to learn some of the terminology.Great book, well illustrated and pitched at the right level for a novice. The only minor criticism is some words are Americanised eg “fender” however there are so few examples of this and the quality of the rest of the book mean this is a very minor point and does not detract from the overall quality.Highly recommended for a curious novice or someone just starting out on mechanical training.

Review: So overpriced! The entire book has only black and white illustrations, that too of sub standard quality. For this price, I definitely expected colour pictures for the parts they were explaining. I would have never paid so much for such a book on the stands! It's the 25th printing and they can't add colour pictures? Looks like a book from 4 decades ago!Don't waste your money.
