It's a short and concise introduction to car history, facts, and maintenance. It's not chock full of details, but it directs you to resources to get those if you're interested. The pictures are not pretty, and the layout reminds me of middle school workbooks, but the content is solid. Before this book, I never did anything with my car except drive it, fill the gas tank, check the engine oil (maybe 2 or 3 times in my life), take it regularly to get it serviced, and watch my husband change a flat tire. Since I've read through the book, I've called out a swindling mechanic, changed wipers, changed cabin air filters, topped off antifreeze and window washer fluids, checked the engine oil, steering and transmission fluids, know generally what goes on at servicings, and feel a lot more comfortable with my car. Review: Good if you don't know anything about cars - Got it for an into to auto repair class for a local college as a required text, but it was not used all that much. desertcart of course cost 1/2 the school's price. It gives a good overview of how cars work and contains info car drivers should already know, even though most don't. Some of the later chapters go into details but most are limited. I now know why cars have breaks and windshield wipers, both which are covered. It tells about things and why to do it, but doesn't really tell you how to it. I read the whole book in less that 2 hours. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 28 Reviews | ## Images ![Auto Upkeep: Basic Car Care, Maintenance, and Repair (Hardcover) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51GfScRqHbL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic car facts and maintenance made easy *by J***N on December 7, 2009* Everyone who has a vehicle (and doesn't know much about cars) should have a copy. It's a short and concise introduction to car history, facts, and maintenance. It's not chock full of details, but it directs you to resources to get those if you're interested.

Amazon of course cost 1/2 the school's price. It gives a good overview of how cars work and contains info car drivers should already know, even though most don't.

I read the whole book in less that 2 hours. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A lot of information *by H***R on September 21, 2022* Great overview. I purchased for a 10 y.o. boy. I think that he finds the book a bit overwhelming and their are no color illustrations. For the appropriate age/ individual this may be great. I needed a book to inspire interest...this one would be great if the interest was already there. --- ## 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.id/products/191323663-auto-upkeep-basic-car-care-maintenance-and-repair-hardcover](https://www.desertcart.id/products/191323663-auto-upkeep-basic-car-care-maintenance-and-repair-hardcover) --- *Product available on Desertcart Indonesia* *Store origin: ID* *Last updated: 2026-10-09*
