Self-Study: Automotive Service text book
Picked up Automotive Service by Tim Gilles for a little self study at half priced books. I eventually want to do the majority of my work myself such as engine rebuilds, maintenance, etc... It's very interesting so far, it has 74 in-depth chapters covering everything from safety to running an automotive business. Something I've already read in the footnotes that I found interesting was that theoretically the first 15 minutes of an engine's warm up cycle puts more wear on the motor than a 1000 mile trip at operating temperature. Thoughts on the book? Anyone doing anything similar?
