I ONLY WISH I HAD ORDERED YOUR MATERIALS YEARS AGO
"I just got my books and resource materials in for this year. Your texts are just perfect for my program and provide an excellent progression for my students to follow. The resources provided for syllabi and curriculum have been just outstanding! I was able to use the template on Word M.S. and create an ideal curriculum plan as well. I only wish I had ordered your materials years ago. Thank you for providing such a wonderful product(s) for our tech. area."

PERFECT
"I'm using Auto Upkeep for high school students taking our College Tech Prep Intro to Automotive Technology class and it is perfect."

JUST RIGHT
"I'm going to recommend that we use your book in at least 3 of our intro classes. My experience is that it is almost impossible to find a good textbook for intro classes, they either have too little or too much information in them. I feel yours is just right!!!!!"

PHENOMENAL
"The book Auto Upkeep is the single greatest textbook for the classroom teacher with an auto care class offering. The chapters are short, but complete, with many illustrations. This text is obviously geared toward the visual learner. The chapters do not intimidate students with reading difficulties. ... Since I started using this book as my classroom text, my students seem to love reading the chapters and enjoy discussing them. The lab activities are phenomenal, they all can be done in a single period with limited tools. They are very easy to understand and complete. Since I began using this text three years ago, my job has become more enjoyable. Thanks Mike, the new release is awesome, and I look forward to incorporating it into the curriculum as soon as it is published."

ONE OF THE GREATEST

EASY-TO-UNDERSTAND
"This latest edition is an expansion on the original version which covered many automotive topics in an easy to understand format. Now with even more subjects, illustrations, and resources, this book is a great place to start when studying automotive technology or just owning a car."

Automotive Instructor
Cuesta College, CA
GREAT BOOK
"I am currently teaching "Automotive Ownership" to high school students and I am using this book as a reference. It is a great book to give students the basic information about owning a vehicle. Many of my students do not know how a car works or how to treat their car, by the end of class they are prepared to own a automobile. Great book and I suggest it to other teachers with a similar class."

EASY TO READ
"This book provides the information needed to own, drive, and maintain a vehicle. For people who don't consider themselves very technical, it is perfect. It is simple and easy to read, but covers a lot of important material."

WELL THOUGHT OUT
"This text is a considerable improvement from the first edition. It is well thought out, suitably illustrated, filled with appropriate web links, and has just the right amount of information for a beginning or 'Consumer Auto' type class. I am looking forward to using it upon publication."

Exact Needs

"I was recently talking to a mother of a new driver. She mentioned that her son did not have the faintest clue when it came to his car and what needed to be done. I had recently looked through the new Auto Upkeep Basic Car Care book and was so impressed that I recommended that she buy a copy for her son.
You have done a very nice job on this book and I would recommend it to any new driver. Lots of Great Stuff!"

"Auto Upkeep is an easy book for students to follow along in and understand what the text is communicating. I recommend this book to anyone that wants a basic knowledge of automobile functions, repair, and maintenance."
J. Bruce Osburn, Assoc. Prof. Auto. Technology

"I find this book to be a valuable asset to the consumer classes I teach. It is well organized and written to the point. Subjects are written in plain English for maximum student benefit and the information is complete."
Jim Sainsbury, Automotive Instructor
Madison Memorial H.S., Madison, WI
"This is an easy to read book that covers the basics for students just interested in their own cars, but has enough information that it can serve as introduction to other auto technology courses offered at our school."
Tim Isaac, Automotive Instructor
Foothills Composite H.S., Okotoks, Alberta, Canada
"This textbook will be great for students entering the field of automotive repair as well as for students who would like general knowledge."

"Wow, this is just what I needed for my intro class - good foundation for those who want to move on and great reference book for others who want to learn a little for the future car of their dreams."
Ray Quon, Dept. Chair and Coord. of Auto. Tech.
San Diego Miramar College, San Diego, CA
"It is a book that can help a student learn the bare basics of the automotive industry. This will teach a student how far he or she can go in repairs of their vehicles. Also this allows the student some knowledge if he or she has the vehicle repaired at a automotive repair/service shop."
Melvin Higgs, Automotive Instructor
J.M. Tawes Tech. & Career Center, Westover, MD
"I have been using the first edition for two years and find it a great fit for my General Auto Care class. The addition of more graphics and illustrations as well as the new chapters will vastly improve this text as a resource for my students. I'm looking forward to receiving the new publication."

"I thought the text was easy to read and very useful to my transportation systems course."
