John Muir, How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive Review

Overall Rating

Very easy to understand, even for a novice mechanic. The hand drawn illustrations are especially helpful. I have been using various editions of this book since 1971. It has saved me THOUSANDS of dollars!

Non "spiral bound" later editions not as easy to use in the shop.

I would rate this publication as one of the most useful I have bought in the past 37 years, I currently own a 71 Westfalia and still refer to this book on a regular basis. It taught me most of what I needed to know to keep my 1958, 1966, 1967 and 1969 Bugs alive back in the 70's when I was a VERY poor college student. Without this book I would not have had transportation on many occasions. My current, mint condition) , 33rd printing from April, 1987 is serving me well into this century.
