I also know my way around a fender and a quarter panel and under the hood of a car. I spent a few years driving to accident scenes, scrapyards, hospitals, auto repair shops as a claims adjuster for an insurance company.

I loved the first two novels in this series. In general, time flies by way too fast, but sometimes it goes way too slow. Waiting for a good book like this one to come out qualifies for time at a snail's pace. :-D
