Synopsis

AUTOMOTIVE MAINTENANCE & LIGHT REPAIR (AM&LR), Third Edition, is designed for automotive programs accredited in ASE Education Foundation's Maintenance & Light Repair (MLR) program standards. Unlike many texts, this practical guide is effective for a wide range of entry-level automotive students because it is written at a tenth-grade reading level. Each chapter includes integrated learning features, such as Word Walls to encourage mastery of important technical and industry terminology, and ASE review questions to help students prepare for professional certification exams. In addition to being thoroughly updated to align to the ASE Education Foundation 2022 Maintenance & Light Repair (MLR) program standards, the Third Edition features color-coded safety information for easy reference, new content on advanced drive assistance systems (ADAS) and updated layouts and imagery to make content more appealing and accessible for today's visual learners. Both the core text and accompanying workbook feature material covering the entire MLR task list, as well as many supplemental tasks often expected of entry-level technicians. This versatile structure makes it easy for instructors to customize lesson plans and assignments based on the skills and knowledge of their students. With a lively writing style and abundant images and illustrations, AM&LR engages students while providing a solid grounding in both automotive competencies and applied academic and lifelong learning skills, including math, science and communication.
