GETTING

Most
of
the
necessary
maintenance
and
minor
repair
that
an
automobile
will
need
canbe
done
with
ordinary
tools,
evenby
owners
with
little
or
no
experience
in
car
repair
.
Below
is
some
important
information
on
how
to
work
safely,
a
discussion
of
what
tools
will
be
needed
and
how
to
use
them
.
Although
an
automobile
presents
many
hazards,
common
sense
and
good
equipment
can
helo
ensure
safety
.
Many
acci-
dents
happen
because
of
carelessness
.
Pay
attention
and
stick
to
these
few
important
safety
rules
.
