Here's a great way to turn your computer into a piece of car care equipment. Just slip Carley's Car Care Guide into your IBM-compatible personal computer and you'll have an electronic book at your fingertips.

It provides helpful hints and detailed instructions on all aspects of basic maintenance. It also features a huge glossary of technical terms.

In addition, there are articles on technical subjects of current interest, such as anti-lock brakes (ABS), air bags, emissions, computerized engine controls and many more.

The Car Care Guide, an MS-DOS program that also can be run under Windows, comes on a 1.44 MB, 3.5 inch diskette. It requires a mouse, VGA or SVGA color monitor and hard drive.

You can order your guide by sending a check or money order for $14.95 to Car Care Council, Dept.WE7-CCG, 42 Park Drive, Port Clinton, OH 43452.
