Girls Auto Clinic Glove Box Guide

Girls Auto Clinic Glove Box Guide by Patrice Banks        Paperback Book: 304 pages

This is the best most understandable book you will ever come across on auto repair.   It is written for women so we won't be clueless when we take our vehicles in for maintenance.   My favorite part was in the beginning when Patrice Banks explains what the scary lights mean on your dashboard and more importantly what the color they light up in means.   Heck, I never realized the warning lights lit up in different colors depending on the severity of your car's issue.   Did you?    If the check engine light, etc. comes on in amber -your car is telling you, "Hey, something isn't right better get it checked just to be safe.    But if that same light comes on in red your car is telling you, "HELP!!!! Something awful is about to happen.   GET ME TO A MECHANIC STAT!!!!!!"   Now I know and I felt so good from learning that and even sharing that golden nugget of wisdom with some men I know who never knew that either.  Now we all know.    This book is chock full of so much GREAT information that you will be doing yourself such huge money saving favors to read it cover to cover.    Now that I have read the library's copy I am going to BUY myself a couple of copies to keep one in each vehicle and will purchase additional copies for loved ones to keep in their cars - this is like the golden ticket that allows you to pass from foggy don't have a clueness to being able to discuss real car problems that you now get because she breaks down every possible part on your vehicle and discusses what is where and why its there, what it does for your car (and you) how it interacts with the other parts of your car, when to do maintenance and when not to.  She goes from the tires on up, end to end and side to side.   This book is a remakrable teaching tool and I would love to do a Vulcan mind meld with this lady to learn all she knows.    She started out as, her term not mine, an auto airhead never thinking about her car in terms of what it might need and now she is a MASTER SHECANIC, owning three of her own vehicle repair shops at which she has female shecanics working on all the vehicles coming in    She feels her 4 inch red stilletos are part of her uniform and wears them proudly in all the illustrations (see cover above).      Who says girls can't work on cars?   She put herself through all the courses on vehicle repair that has landed her where she is today.   There is no problem she can't analyze and fix.   Patrice Banks is my SHERO!   I wish she lived here - I would never take my vehicles anywhere but to her.   GREAT BOOK.   I think every driver should be issued a copy of this book especially females but certainly males, too.   She spells it all out and everybody could learn from this book.  Fantastic book!   Read it, buy it, own it - it will be the best thing you have ever done for yourself if you plan to drive.   Mothers buy a copy for your daughters it will teach them how to take care of their ride properly and repair things themselves (change a tire, jump a battery, etc., etc).    She is a whiz and a marvel.   I can't sing her praises and the praises of this book highly enough.
