92gransport Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Just thought I would ask you guys which do you prefer, the Chilton's or Haynes repair manuals for w-body's? I've got a '92 Regal GS Coupe and was looking at two, a Chilton's 88-96 and a Haynes 88-95. Any opinions? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sl3196 Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 I like the haynes manuals more because they seem to have more detail and more pictures explaining what to do. I think chiltons sucks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOHCRagtopguy Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Watch e-bay for the factory manuals. Much more thorough than either Chilton's or Haynes. Jeremy is right on the money and also has a great signature! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the Haynes manual, and I could actually do what I needed.. hey steve we probably had the same chiltons book the one that tryed to cover the ENTIRE a-body family of all years. (it had a pic of a century on the front). i HATED it so much. and there was alot of incorrect information in it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SigEpCutlass Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 i disagree. the haynes manual has had good explanations and how to's. I do agree that their pictures are really helpful. i got my haines manual @ pep boys for $16. Great Buy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
