Reviews
The series includes essential and extensive coverage of the fundamental topics required for automotive electrical training. The content in the classroom and shop manual progresses from simple to more complex. The series provides the instructor with enough flexibility to determine the depth of coverage for any particular topic based on student or course needs. The text is very in-depth, which I love because it covers everything students need (plus a lot more) but allows me as the instructor to learn more than what the students need to know so I can answer obscure questions they may have. The test procedures found in the shop manual are great and give step-by-step instructions on performing specific tests. This is helpful when I can't get around to all groups in lab, they can always reference the book.
