Emergency Automotive First Aid

Facts about rape and assault listed on the back of the video seem to have doodley-squat to do with the subject of this video--car repair (although the tape does have a safety tips segment at the end with good suggestions for emergency situations). Primarily, however, this is a low-budget guide which details the items necessary for an emergency car repair kit, and then demonstrates how to fix common problems. Topics covered include changing a tire, overheated engines, a wet electrical system, battery problems, fuel injection system failures, and a preventive maintenance schedule. While the instruction is good, the editing is so-so, and the highway noise added to the voice-over offers more irritation than ambiance. Not a necessary purchase. (R. Pitman)
