Reminiscent of Alpha Omega Publication's Lifepacs, this set will give you a basic understanding of your vehicle. It includes five 50+ page books (or units) divided into chapters, which are subdivided into smaller sections. Unit 1 covers an introduction to automotive technology (how your engine works), charging system, and ignition. Unit 2 covers automatic transmission, oil pump, and brakes. Unit 3 discusses wheel alignment, hybrid power systems, and dashboard gauges and air condition, Unit 4 introduces cooling, fuel and starting systems, emission control, battery, diagnostics, under hood checks, oil changes, and washing. Unit 5 covers dead batteries, investigating fluids, alignment, balance, and tire rotation, tune ups, and jumping your car. Each section contains a quiz to test your retention, and end of chapter and unit quizzes are also included. A separate score key is also included to easily check your student's work. This set seems more informational, so you can discuss problems with your mechanic and understand how things work, rather than a how-to manual that would help you do much maintenance/repair yourself. ~ Megan
