About the Car Maintenance Logbook for Girls

The frustrating part is that nobody actually teaches you how to keep a car running. Most new drivers figure it out by calling someone, Googling at 10pm, or waiting until something already went wrong. The Car Maintenance Logbook for Girls exists so you don’t have to.

You don’t need to know everything about cars. You just need a system — something that tells you what to check, when to check it, and what to do when you’re not sure. Inside: fuel log with MPG calculator, weekly and monthly inspections, service intervals, tire rotation tracker, repair and parts records, seasonal checklists, road trip and emergency kits, step-by-step guides for oil levels, tire pressure, flat tires, jump-starts, air filters, and the things you’re quietly expected to already know.

Plus one thing the standard guides leave out: How to Talk to a Mechanic — the questions to ask, the red flags to watch for, the way to describe a problem clearly so you walk in informed and walk out without being taken advantage of. For the driver who handles it herself — or for the person who wants to make sure she can.
