Women's Car DIY

For anyone looking to learn more about how cars work and how they can maintain and take care of theirs. This empowering Manual, written by a female car mechanic, explains all areas of owning, maintaining and caring for your car. After absorbing the guidance in this Manual you will know how to deal with a puncture, replace a brake light or even do an oil change – and when to challenge a garage mechanic’s advice. 

The author,  as a teenager, Caroline Lake was more likely to be found reading What Car? than Smash Hits and she could quote 0 - 60mph times galore. For her 16th birthday she was given a Triumph Dolomite as a minor restoration project and with her father's help and a Haynes manual she managed to get it on the road. She went into the garage trade, became a qualified MoT tester and in 2006 opened Caroline's Cars in Norwich, offering servicing, repairs and MoTs, along with a training school where she teaches car care and maintenance.
