How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive: A Manual of Step-by-Step Procedures for the Compleat Idiot by John Muir and Tosh Gregg..
This book was originally published in 1969 and assumes you know nothing about cars or mechanical systems. They do a great job of getting the reader up to speed quickly without moving too fast or leaving out important concepts.
I was introduced to the book by my high school English teacher. He used it as an example of fine technical writing that doesn't feel like technical writing. I enjoyed the chapter he shared with us so much that I bought the book and read the whole thing. It's a great manual!
