It was okay, really bare bones stuff. Didn't have much troubleshooting info, just perhaps the absolute most common stuff one might run into. But yeah, better than nothing I guess. Worth archiving. Easy and accessible.

The best part of this book is it breaks down what you need to do weekly, monthly, three months, four months, and six months
I have done.... Nothing they suggest, and I get into bad situations often with my car. No more!

What I took away from this book: Read your car's manual.

I could see the value of reading this at 15/16, before you begin driving.
