I have been recommending AllData for years here at AutoEducation.com. It’s a great way to get the repair information you need, or just learn more about your car. They offer TSB’s (Technical service bulletins) Recall Information and Labor guides, so you know how long your mechanic should be taking to fix your vehicle.
Did you know they have a Free test drive, where you can try out their online repair manual and see the quality of the information contained in it? Check out AllData today and see why I believe in it and recommend it to all my visitors.

We are excited to announce that we will be selling
the Road
Machines software to help you learn more about your car and how it works.
This program has excellent full color cut-away pictures as well as easy-to-read
text. Topics include maintenance, computer systems, parts, and troubleshooting.
Even if you don’t work on your own car, you will benefit
from this CD. It will give you a good overview of how your car works and
will help to protect you from a less than honest mechanic. You can download
a Demo or check out our FREE
Preview online.

Question:
I’m aware that you no longer carry the Auto Insight CD. Do you have any information on the company or where my school can purchase it. Thank you,
Doug
Answer:
Doug, the software has been sold to another company, and is not being sold to the public from what I know. You can find some of the information online at www.innerauto.com

Question:
Hi there, I’m Ann. I am tired of getting ripped off. Last week my 1970 Karmann Ghia VW stopped on me on the Freeway. I’ve had this car since 1997; and I just love it. A lot of people want to buy it. I had no idea it was a car that many people would want to use as a CLASSIC Project. I’ve been
using it to get around. I’ve had everything put in this car from new transmission to engine. You name it, I’ve had it put on my car. Since I’ve had the car for a while, I can just hear certain sounds and know that there is something wrong. Now last week when the car stopped on me, I knew it had to be something simple. AAA towed it to my house; I had a mechanic to come by the house and look at the car. Off the top, he was going to charge me $100 to tell me what was wrong. I called someone else over to the house to look at it because I felt this guy was trying to ripp me off so he could (PAY HIS BILLS). When this other mechanic finish looking at my car, he went over to his van, took out this piece of clapp, I can’t remember what he told me it was; that’s why I’m on line looking for some way to learn about this car, so I could do it myself. I’ve had it long enough, and I plan on not getting rid of it either. Do not want a car note. To make the long story short. He charged me $20 and left. I went to the parts store and saw this
little piece and it was around $3. I was so shocked. I told my husband we need to go to school for auto mechanics if we are going to keep these old cars. We could really save a lot of money. Now I want to know from you
WHERE DO I START? Do I need to take a auto mechanics class or go to school or will this online serve the purpose. I want to tune up my VW and change the oil.

I spent part of the day yesterday watching the International Auto Show on TV. What a great show to see what the future holds in the way of new vehicles. You can check out their website at http://www4.naias.com/
My personal favorite car, was the Dodge Challenger
http://www.cnn.com/2006/AUTOS/funonwheels/01/04/dodge_challenger/
Check it out and let’s hope Dodge builds it and KEEPS it a 2 door, not a 4 Door like they did with the Charger.
