Summary: if you've never opened your car's hood before....
Review: ... then this is a software package for you.

if however, you are not a helpless mush-brained yuppie spawn and are aquainted with such complexities as cleaning your air filter or properly inflating your tires DON'T SPEND YOUR HARD EARNED SHECKLES - you can't return opened software.

the vehicle rating system is quite limited in scope, providing only an overall rating from 1-9. 1-9 what? it is also limited in range. when i tried looking up info on a chevy monte carlo, i found it must have been too "exotic" to make the list.much better and much more detailed info is available on the web.

likewise, the calculators are very simplistic. if you took any math in high school you can do this yourself with a $1.98 calculator.

as far as the servicing info- if you don't already know to change your car's oil every 3000 miles- pull over and start taking the bus. NOW!!

if you're serious about car repair and you need to track that chugging problem to a mass airflow sensor, or you need to find out how to quiet a chattering valve or slapping piston you would be much be better served by obtaining a Haynes or Chiltons service book at AMAZON's usual bargain price.

you're probably saying "what did you expect for $24.99?". more than this. i guess people who read motor trend these days just drive the cars and pay (and pay)another to dirty their hands. and another trait of americana fades towards antiquity as we reach for the remote control.......

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: most practical software
Review: I would have given a 5 star rating but I am disappointed that a newer version has not been made. Also need to update with new makes and models
