“We were incredibly pleased with the driving instruction our son got from Tomasz. We had to juggle lessons around university terms, but he was very helpful and gave our son excellent tuition. I think a first-time pass with one fault is testament to thoroughness of Tomasz’s teaching. Would highly recommend Tomasz and the Peter Skelton Driving School to anyone looking for automatic lessons.”
Haynes is famed for their automotive workshop manuals that can guide users through their car repairs. Up until recently the Haynes manuals were typically only available in physical copies, but with a new update motorists can now look up how to fix their cars from home on the digital space.
Obviously, there are huge concerns that vehicles in the 21st Century are too complicated to be fixed by anyone other than a trained mechanic. However, Haynes has tried to alleviate some of these fears, claiming that their new AutoFix tool will give motorists a renewed sense of confidence to apply modern cars with a bit of DIY. This new tool will make it much easier to search for specific problems and includes an interactive fault diagnostic service.
According to Haynes, the new tool covers 90% of cars on the road and includes guides for DIY, e.g. changing lightbulbs and adjusting clutches. It will also include tips for MOT prep, and details for vehicle specific fluids and settings.
The Global Director of Haynes, Andrew Golby, said ‘The way that people use automotive repair information has significantly changed since Haynes was first founded in the 1960s. Indeed, today, our online workshop manuals, based upon the original book, outsell print manuals.’
This tool could help pupils in Newbury who have recently passed their driving tests following a semi-intensive course, as it could save them to do DIY fixes if their first car has issues, instead of forking out at the local garage.
