One of our most popular features here at the shop is our unique Book and Bumper Sticker library. You can take one of our Bumper Stickers free with each visit (they’re magnetic so they won’t damage your vehicle’s paint), we have a few videos you might like (also one free per visit), and all our books are available for checkout (just ask your Service Advisor). With that library backing us up, it’s no big surprise that we like to offer recommendations that might make your reading life a little spicier. Here are the books we recommended in 2016, along with some great reading lists from other people and groups we think you’ll enjoy…
