Market-leading Automotive Technology: Principles, Diagnosis, and Service has been fully updated and expanded to address the latest technology and automotive systems. Written to current ASE tasks and standards, the text covers the 8 major areas of automotive service in 136 concise chapters.

It also includes 50 new videos (in Revel®) and over 100 new full color photos and line drawings to help bring the topics to life.
