Basic Auto Maintenance Explained: A Beginner's Guide to Fluids, Brakes, Tires, Batteries, and Troubleshooting

di Michael Bergman (Autore)

TradeReady Press, 2026

A warning light, a new noise, a soft pedal - small signals become expensive repairs when they are ignored or misread. Basic Auto Maintenance Explained teaches beginning owners to observe, verify, act, and record, in that order. It explains how fluids, brakes, tires, batteries, and charging systems work; how to read the dashboard without guessing; how to check pressure, tread, levels, belts, hoses, and lights safely; and how to build a maintenance plan from the vehicle's own schedule rather than slogans. The guide is explicit about limits: which observations are safe for a beginner, which jobs stay with a qualified professional, and how to make that handoff well. Ten practice cases, a vehicle passport and maintenance ledger, monthly/seasonal/trip checklists, a symptom action reference and roadside card, shop conversation and estimate worksheets, ten owner project cards, and a glossary make the book useful beyond the first reading. Written for owners of passenger cars and light personal-use vehicles in the United States, this is not a comprehensive repair manual, a substitute for the vehicle manufacturer's instructions, or a qualification for safety-critical work.
