Whenit breaks down or needs a service, it will in most cases be taken to a garagefor repairs. The garage will operate normal company systems to fix the carand make a profit.’I put the above in my first edition of this book because I know that differentqualifications and courses come and go! However, what you will find in thisbook will continue to be relevant for quite some time, no matter what. Thewelcomed changes to the NVQ standards are no exception. I have updatedany reference to NVQs but the technical content of the book has not changedvery much.I still enjoy learning new things about vehicles and the motor trade ingeneral. I hope you enjoy your career as much as I have, and still do today.I continue to welcome comments from lecturers and students via my website: http://www.automotive-technology.co.uk and thanks to all who havealready been in touch.You will find that the web site content changes quite often so check backfrom time to time. Information about my other books, technical articles, weblinks and simulation software are available online. I hope to see you there.Good luck with your studies and careers in the motor trade.Tom Denton 2002
