These books are PDFs for immediate download through Payhip after purchase. Nothing is shipped. Use the email address where you want to receive your purchase link. You can read the books on your phone, tablet or computer, or print them for yourself. The price shown at checkout applies.
Delivery and payment
Payhip handles checkout, payment and PDF delivery. Payhip and the payment provider have their own terms and privacy policies.
Book refunds
The books have a 7-day money-back guarantee through Payhip. Request a full refund within 7 days from the purchase date. This applies to Volume I, Volume II and Volume III with Vol. I & II. See the book refund policy for how to request it.
Club membership and cancellation
Truck Owner Academy (formerly The Garage Bench Club) costs $19.90 a month (USD) and renews every month until you cancel. Cancel any time from your Payhip account. Cancellation stops future renewals; it does not itself request a refund.
Forgot to cancel? Write to us within 15 days of a charge and we refund that month.
For a club refund, email [email protected] with the charge details. See the club refund policy.
Personal-use licence
You may read and print your books and club lesson materials for yourself. Do not share files, resell them, upload them, or copy them for other people. The books, text and artwork are protected by copyright.
Using the guidance
The books and club provide general truck ownership, buying and maintenance guidance. Follow your vehicle manufacturer’s instructions and use a qualified mechanic where appropriate. Do not attempt work you cannot perform safely. No particular mileage, vehicle condition or financial outcome is guaranteed.
