HPC's Car Opening Authority® (COA-22) is a multifaceted user-friendly manual that serves not only as a reference book, but also as an educational aid and opening index. It clearly depicts and explains all of the different techniques of the 13 styles of car opening. HPC's Car Opening Authority® shows you how to open virtually every vehicle for the past 15 years, including ALL of the current cars, vans and SUV's found in the U.S.A. and Canada, as well as many from around the world.

HPC's Car Opening Authority® is broken down into three parts:

  1. The Model Index lists more than 650 vehicle models by year for the past 15 years. This spreadsheet formatted index points you to one or more opening technique for each vehicle and alerts you to any vehicle-specific information.
  2. The 13 Opening Styles and Techniques take you step-by-step through all of the different opening methods. Precise illustrations are used to show great detail. At the beginning of each technique a list of recommended and optional tools is given, as well as any style-specific precautions.
  3. The last section is the Tool Index. This section gives a pictorial listing and description of ALL of HPC's car opening tools.

For the beginner, HPC's Car Opening Authority® will teach you that you don't need a new and different method for every vehicle on the road. You'll find that every vehicle can be opened by one or more of these 13 different methods. Once you learn how to perform each of these opening methods, you will begin to learn how to identify which techniques to apply to which vehicles.

For the experienced car opening professional, who knows the value of space in a work vehicle, HPC's Car Opening Authority® is the ideal book. Why waste valuable truck space with volume after volume of car opening material. HPC's Car Opening Authority™ gives you opening information for 15 years of cars, vans, SUV's, and more. That's over 650 vehicles all in just one binder.

This manual is concise, compact, fully illustrated, and easily updateable. HPC's Car Opening Authority® is backed by HPC's technical department, which truly makes this reference manual the Authority on car opening.
