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!

I like the haynes manuals more because they seem to have more detail and more pictures explaining what to do. I think chiltons sucks!!

 

:werd:

 

the Mitchell manuals in the library are nice too.

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! :D :D

if you can't

 

the haynes manual has better photographs

 

the chilton manual has better diagrams and is better on the how-to part

 

they are published by the same company

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.
