Autos Books

Much better than the Chilton manuals ... I've owned a couple of Chevettes and I've used both. The Haynes manual has much better procedure descriptions, and wiring diagrams that aren't even included in the Chiltion's books. If you plan to work on your Chevette you should get both books, but you won't go wrong relying on just the Haynes manual.

Hayne's Automotive Repair Manual for Chevrolet & GMC Pick-Ups, 1999-2002 - A good resource for simple repairs and to diagnose (again) simple problems. It can save you some money and frustration by providing the step by step method to address those issues you can repair yourself. Unfortunately, it doesn't cover the 2500/3500 series trucks in any depth and doesn't cover the diesel engine systems at all. It has a considerable number of subjects where it tells you that the subject is too complex for the home garage mechanic and advises you to go to the dealer or repair shop for service. It would have been better if it had gone into more detail in these particular subject areas so you could deal better with your maintenance facility as an intelligent/informed customer. Nonetheless, it does provide the information to be able to perform much of what would be expensive service in your own driveway. A good reference but should have been titled for the 1500 gas powered series Sierra and Silverado.

Very useful book in explaining the procedures to do repairs and maintenance yourself.

The most PARTS FOR ANY CAR

I found this book very helpful. It features the diagnostic flowcharts directly from the manufacturer's manuals.

***Warning: Does not contain information for the 1990 Chrysler 3.3L engine family.***

I have searched far and wide for a book that covered a 90 honda prelude si. Extremely happy with it. Great instructions.

I WOULD LIKE TO OWN A SERVICE MANUAL ON IMPORT CARS.

This book was great it tels you about everything you need to know about Toyota and Lexus cars

This book is probally the most valuable tool you can own in your tool box. The manual covers not only full engine overhaul but also tune up procedures and general maintance.

The manual is laid out very well and allows those with little or no car experience to easily perform numerous tasks and trouble shoot problems they may have.

You can't go wrong at the price because even if you use it once it's more than paid for itself.

Used this manual several times since purchase, some for fairly intense repairs including replacing EGR valve and replacing wheel bearings with good results. I have also used it for smaller jobs like sparkplugs (you realize you have to take the intake manifold off to change them?!?). The step by step directions are mostly clear and the photos help too but could be of better quality. One thing missing is that this book is short on diagnostics. The manual seems to cover all systems and has an appropriate level of detail and I would recommend it for the medium to hard core DIYer.
