6. Auto Repair Shams and Scams

From Amazon.com: (https://amzn.to/2EuWivb) "Stevenson is an automobile mechanic who has worked in many types of repair facilities; in this book, he puts his experience to good use as he easily explains the industry and what it does for the consumer. Included in his discussion are the strengths and weaknesses of repair facilities from gas stations to dealerships; mechanics, who they are and how they are trained; consumers and how they are viewed by the industry that reaps over $70 billion of their money; the maintenance and repair processes for all elements in an automobile; and a section on recourse against fraud. A good glossary explains auto-repair terminology, and in the text, major points are put in useful highlighted boxes. A fine source for useful, timely data." - Steven J.
