Excerpt from What to Do, to Keep Down Motoring Expenses, to Avoid or Remedy Motoring Troubles: A Practical Handbook for Motorists Would you become the Master as well as the Owner of your car - able to drive it efficiently and economically when "she's running fine" - able to fix it, or least to know what is wrong, when it develops the ailments to which an automobile is commonly subject? If so, this book is for you. It will make no effort to teach you automobile repairing in any broad or technical sense. It will not tell you how to rebore cylinders, grind valves, replace piston rings or how to repair or replace any broken or worn out essential part. Such work lies almost wholly within the field of the automobile repair man and usually calls for special mechanical knowledge, special tools and shop equipment. You will be well advised to leave it to a competent repair man whose experience and equipment assuredly qualify him to make such repairs more efficiently than any mechanically inclined amateur, however gifted. And, even if you have the knack, the ambition and the ability to do real surgical work on your car, your talents in that direction will be needed but seldom. Probably ninety percent of automobile troubles yield to what may be called "simple home remedies." Those mysterious and often terrifying knocks, the poundings, rattles and wheezes, failure to start, going "dead' on the road, the missing, the overheating - all the long, long list of automobile troubles, barring only those caused by broken or worn out parts. - none of them need chill you with dark forebodings of a car out of commission and a probable repair bill.
