Practical stocking filler for the girl who has everything

If you are looking for the ideal gift for your daughter, The Girls’ Car Handbook may be just the ticket – especially if she has just passed her driving test.

This handy guide is packed with advice on what to look for when buying a car, how to find a decent garage, the costs involved, and how to cope if your car breaks down – plus advice on keeping your car on the road and insuring it properly.

And us older ladies could also benefit from this book - especially if you are not particularly mechanically minded – the advice on how to handle garage mechanics and repairs is especially useful, as well as what to look for in a new car and how to avoid being ripped off.

The Girls’ Car Handbook by Maria McCarthy is published by Pocket Books and costs £7.99 – money well spent.
