Automotive Repair Reference Center Database

Hello!

I wanted to let you know about a library database that is chock full of information to help you work on or learn more about your car or truck. This database is the Automotive Repair Reference Center and can be found in the library catalog at http://www.wccls.org/, under the heading "Online Resources" then "Automotive". If you are using this database outside the library then you will need to have your library card number to access it.

This database contains a great deal of information regarding automotive repair--everything from general tips about troubleshooting and car care to extensive diagrams of engine systems and operations. It contains not only automotive repair information but also the same type of info for light trucks and vans.

Once you are in the database you can click on a year (1954-present) and then choose the specific make and model you need. You need to be as specific as possible about the type of vehicle you're looking up--engine type, fuel type, and any submodel information. Once you choose the specifics for your car or truck, then you will see some choices for the type of information you need: Repair Procedures, Service Bulletins and Recalls, Wiring Diagrams, Labor, Specifications, and Maintenance Intervals. There is loads of information in each of these areas so be sure to look closely for what you need.

And, as always at the library, if you need help in using this database (or any database!) or have any questions in finding the information you require, you can always ask for our help at the Adult Reference Desk on the second floor. We're here to help you!
