"The automotive industry is made up of various companies and organizations involved in creating, designing, producing, promoting, selling, repairing, and modifying motor vehicles. It is a massive industry worldwide and generates significant revenue. However, the use of cars contributes to problems like air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and road accidents at the local level. Additionally, the automotive industry has a substantial environmental impact and concerns about working conditions in its supply chains. Cars are intricate machines that now incorporate advanced computer systems. They are vital for the majority of the working population and often a source of pride for their owners. Cars require regular maintenance as well as emergency repairs, replacement parts, painting, cleaning, stereo system installations, and many other services. The automotive aftermarket provides these parts and services, and it tends to thrive during periods of economic uncertainty. When people are not purchasing new cars, they tend to keep their older cars for longer periods. The average age of vehicles in the United States is increasing steadily over the years. Even new cars require routine servicing, but as they age, they require more attention and are more prone to breakdowns. This benefits both service stations and parts retailers. The demand for repairs, maintenance, and replacement parts increases, providing opportunities for businesses in the automotive aftermarket to thrive. This book is divided into seven chapters focusing on different aspects of repairing automotive vehicles. This book is a comprehensive guide that takes you through the fundamentals of engine maintenance, repairing processes, radiator and lubricating system, chassis repair, electrical system repair, accessories of the electrical system, and vehicle air conditioning system"-- Back cover.
