CarTech Auto Books & Manuals was founded in 1993 as CarTech, Inc and has become one of the leading publishers of how-to automotive titles for the hardcore enthusiast. In 1995 CarTech purchased the S-A Design line of book from Larry Schreib and Larry Atherton who had published their first book in 1975 titled, The Chevrolet Racing Engine, by Bill Grumpy Jenkins. This single title gained wide recognition as “the bible” of high performance engine design and assembly.

CarTech has continued to expand on this tradition and now has nearly 150 titles available for the enthusiast, in a wide variety of formats – from print to digital to video. Today, our publishing efforts include our traditional performance “S-A Design” titles along with race histories, biographies of industry icons; in addition to a number series that further assist readers with their projects:

Restoration Series for total restorations

Workbench Series for rebuilders,

Projects Series for in-depth coverage of major tasks

Pro Series for subjects requiring a more in-depth, technical review

CarTech is a company run by enthusiasts…for enthusiasts. No matter what the trends, from pro street to pro touring, from tire shredding big blocks to high revving electronically controlled turbo mills, CarTech will bring it to you.
