RepairSurge

This is a practical guide for aspiring auto mechanics because you get almost all the guides you need for different vehicles. Most of the guides are really good. Well explained and step-by-step. There are some that are rubbish, but you really get more than your money’s worth from the whole package.

The database is brimming with repair lessons, tips and tricks. I had absolutely no idea in repairing cars prior to getting this database, but now, I can repair and maintain my car, and that of my wife. We used to spend a lot of money getting them tuned up once in a while, but now we don’t have to do that anymore. I think with a bit more practice, I can start offering my services here. As for the software you will use to access the database, it’s easy to use and it’s light on the computer, so even if you’re running an older machine, you won’t have problems using it. Hope this short review helped!

This is a great guide for everyone who wants to learn everything about vehicle repair. I suggest not messing with a great, running car while practicing though. You might mess it up beyond repair, and we don’t want that to happen. It will be great having an old beat up car you won’t be using anymore to practice with. The guide is great even for those who have no previous experience vehicle repair. It’s got easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions, and it’s got a lot of pictures and diagrams to help you further. The diagrams may be a bit difficult to understand at first specially if you’re totally new, but with a little practice, you will learn which part goes where, and it should be easier from there. A lot of experience is still required though if you plan to maintain your car on your own. I’m already in the intermediate level, using everything I learned from this guide, but I still need a bit of help with my car from time to time.

I wouldn’t recommend this for people who have absolutely no idea how a car works. For this to be useful for you, you should have at least the tiniest idea on cars. I bought this guide because I’m maintaining two cars at home and wanted to save on repair costs. I’m sure you know how difficult it is to maintain old cars, and how expensive too. I’d say the instructions in the book are fairly easy to follow if you have a little idea on cars already. If you have 0 knowledge, I wouldn’t suggest tinkering with your car’s machinery for more advanced problems. For stuff like changing cars and other minor maintenance routines, you can start with them. All in all, I wouldn’t give this a perfect score, but I’d say it’s a really good purchase especially for the price.

It’s  a large database of vehicle repair information, but I wouldn’t say it’s 100% complete. It’s got info on the latest vehicles, and most from a few years back, so if you have a car that you got maybe 5-10 years ago, you’re 99% sure to get whatever information you need from this database. It’s got repair information, but there are also a lot of general info on cars. Some you might already know about. There are clearly laid out instructions, and some diagrams and photos to help you out. However, it might be a little risky to try the repairs here on a good car if you have absolutely no idea about vehicle repair. It’s good to practice on some beat up cars first. Searching the database is also easy and quick. You just type in the car model and the info you want. The only thing I don’t like about this is that sometimes is requires the internet, but it’s alright most of the time.
