Today's Technician: Automotive Brake Systems, Classroom and Shop Manual Pre-Pack

A unique two-volume format allows for comprehensive coverage with maximum convenience, dividing content between a Classroom Manual to instill basic knowledge of how systems work, and a Shop Manual to help students hone their practical skills through hands-on application.

Full-color drawings, photos, and schematics show modern brake technology and applications in accurate detail, bringing chapter material to life and making even complex concepts and procedures easier to understand and apply.

Step-by-step photo sequences in the Shop Manual illustrate important shop procedures in a clear, sequential way to help students master essential skills quickly and confidently.

The text’s thorough coverage of the 2017 ASE Education Foundation Automobile Program Standards for Brakes provides ideal preparation for students and professionals alike interested in pursuing ASE certification--as well as a reliable, up-to-date reference for today's technicians.

Detailed information on increasingly common technology, such as ABS within a vehicle stability system, prepares students for a seamless and successful transition from the classroom to the professional repair shop.

Drawing on decades of experience as a professional technician, teacher, and trainer, the author communicates using a clear, engaging writing style that makes the material accessible for readers of all backgrounds and learning styles.

Content in both volumes has been updated to align with the ASE Education Foundation 2017 accreditation model, and the Seventh Edition includes new job sheets related to specific MLR, AST and MAST tasks.

The text features expanded coverage of many new, emerging, and evolving technologies important for today’s students and professionals to understand, including hybrid vehicles, brake by wire, and electric brakes.

The author has revised or replaced most end-of-chapter questions and added rejoinders to the Instructor's Companion site, ensuring that these important features are accurate, up-to-date, and effective for today’s learners.

Wherever appropriate, illustrations and other visual elements have been added, updated, or improved to better complement chapter content and help students master and apply what they learn.
