Chiltons total care is not as concise as the factory manual. There are too many cars in one book to begin with.(accord and prelude)Also, it covers different year cars. There are lack of detailed diagrams as well. I would suggust getting a factory manual. It covers only your particular year and model and still fills 500 pages or so.

I own both the Chilton's manual and the service manual and I use them almost an equal amount when working on my '92 Accord. Yes, the Chilton's doesn't contain as much model-specific information as the service manual, but at times the service manual is too technical and difficult to follow. That's when I turn to the Chilton's manual. IMHO it's well worth the price.

Do not buy this book. It has absolutely no detail and states only what you can already figure out using common sense. I wanted help replacing the carburetor on my 1989 Honda Accord. The book says to remove hoses, connections and loosen the mounting nuts and lift out the carburetor and then install the new carburetor the same way the old one was installed---that's it. No help with hose diagrams or information about how to disconnect or reconnect anything. Also, the carburetor won't just lift out---it is necessary to loosen the manifold to get the thing out. The book doesn't even mention that. As I said, the book is useless. I wouldn't have given it even one star, but I had no choice.

confusing, no detail.... You cannot wirte a 276 pg book for 10 years worth of 2 different cars... There are no pictures and often little detail on what you are supposed to be looking at... Maybe a good, i mena good mechanic could use this book, but no one else...

i brought this manual to repair my 93 accord, and there's too much stuff about preludes and old accords. A useful book, but take much models for a short book. A bigger book should solve it, with more photos.

Good information provided for the average car owner, usually clearly and often to the point.

Product was as described. Received in allotted time frame. Great bargain for the price! I would purchase from this seller again.

I bought this book to try to fix an electrical problem on the fuel pump relay. There are no pictures for hardly any of the electrical stuff, only schematics. Those are nice, but you have to know where the stupid thing is (buried under the dashboard, it turns out).

I bought this book to help with the vacuum diagram for a specific engine.
It layed out everything in it!

Chilton is way better than Haynes.

And with prime, free 2 day shipping, cant go wrong there!

I liked the product very much. I got just what i thought I was going to get, and it was inspected too which is nice.
