Get free access to the newly updated Auto Repair Reference Center database with your library card number. Check out our Consumer Resources page on our Web site and select Auto Repair Reference Center in the database list on the right.
Once you have gained access to the ARRC database, you may be able to access repair information, technical bulletins, recalls, diagrams, specifications, labor times, estimated cost of repairs, and diagnostic information.
You can also view a video tutorial and more from the Ebsco support site or search your library catalog online for "auto repair". Feeling lucky? Check out the shelves at your local library with the 629.28 Dewey Decimal number.
