When most people think of libraries they imagine books, computer labs, or story time. Other seasoned users might think of a library’s online offerings such as Libby, Kanopy, Hoopla, or research tools like EbscoHost. However, there is one digital resource that is often overlooked at Mesa County Libraries, and that’s Auto Repair Source. Let’s take a look under the hood at this useful eResource.
Auto Repair Source is a free eResource that provides accurate and up-to-date repair and service information for thousands of domestic and imported vehicles. Simply choose your vehicle’s make, model, manufacturing year and trim level, and you’ll gain access to authoritative knowledge about your car or truck. This resource provides valuable information about your vehicle like repair procedures, diagnostic codes, maintenance schedules, wiring diagrams, time and labor estimates, recall information, parts pricing, and component locations.
Got an old and cracked serpentine belt? Auto Repair Source can provide you with a serpentine belt diagram for easier installation. Think it might be time to change your rear differential fluid?

In addition to providing cost estimates for parts, Auto Repair Source provides time and labor estimates for servicing your vehicle by a professional mechanic. You can also take this valuable resource on the road — it’s designed for devices such as laptops and tablets!
