Summary:
A do-it-herself guide to auto maintenance, roadside emergencies, and the real scoop on how women can get honest car service at the garage, from engineer turned auto mechanic and entrepreneur Patrice Banks. Filled with easy-to-follow illustrations and instructions, great tips, and lifesaving rules of thumb, this handbook will help take away the confusion and mystery surrounding cars, teach women what they need to know about how their cars work, and what they need to do to keep them running smoothly. After working for twelve years as an engineer, Banks began leading car care workshops for women.
