Synopsis
For over 25 years Rob Siegel has written a monthly column called "The Hack Mechanic" for the BMW Car Club of America's magazine Roundel. In Memoirs of a Hack Mechanic, Rob Siegel shares his secrets to buying, fixing, and driving cool cars without risking the kids' tuition money or destroying his marriage. And that's something to brag about considering the dozens of cars, including twenty-five BMW 2002s, that have passed through his garage over the past three decades.
With a steady dose of irreverent humor, Memoirs of a Hack Mechanic blends car stories, DIY advice, and cautionary tales in a way that will resonate with the car-obsessed (and the people who love them).

Review
One of the best auto memoirs I've read in a long time...If your dad happens to be a car guy, Siegel's memoir would be a great Father's Day present. --The Boston Globe
'Memoirs of a Hack Mechanic' reminds me of summertime Saturdays when I was a boy and Dad and his buddies would park their rides - Mercs, Caddys, Chevys - in our broad dirt dooryard and make out with them...Rob Siegel, a writer with permanent grease under his nails, would've totally been into it. And this funny, frisky book tells why. --The New York Times
Inspired by John Muir's VW 'Idiot Book' (aren't we all), Rob Siegel spins a fab mix of Zen and 20w50 ... the wealth of advice and humorous stories will strike a chord with any classic car nut. --Classic Motoring
