The Sixth Edition of BASIC AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE & SYSTEMS includes a Classroom Manual and a Shop Manual to provide a comprehensive, accessible overview of automotive systems to prepare readers for all aspects of work in the field. Updated to align with Task Lists for the latest ASE Education Foundation requirements, the Sixth Edition covers emerging technologies such as hybrid vehicles and electronic engine controls, as well as current information on the global automotive industry and the role of the technician within it. The Classroom Manual explores the theories of operation behind each automotive system, while the Shop Manual covers relevant diagnostic, testing, and repair procedures. Assuming no prior knowledge of automotive technology, these clear and engaging resources combine to provide a thorough introduction to both fundamental theory and its real-world applications in specific skills and maintenance procedures.
