Great information at a great price
I've used Chilton manuals for years and this book has more information than the old pro manuals that used to sell for $200 a piece. I don't think that "puxatawni" or Kyle are for real ... I mean the 1997 version didn't have Cooling fan wiring diagrams or component locations, or O2 sensor info. This book is worth a look.

Do It Yourself Useless Book Strictly for Grease Monkeys
How could they call this a Repair Manual? I remember paying $19.95 for this book in 1998. Now they claim the list price on this book is $79.95? I just counted the pages in my 1997 edition and their are 600 more pages 3 years ago than in this 2000 edition. Did cars get simpler? Or is this company ripping people off? What is going on here? I feel like I've been deceived...

What happened to this book?,
By puxatawni Phil (Fulton, IN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chilton's Auto Repair Manual 1996-2000 (Hardcover)
How could they claim this book was written with the technician in mind? I had used CHILTON PROFESSIONAL books for years. This poor excuse for a Chilton book has no information for a Pro or a "Backyard Mechanic". Other than some specifications and some generic procedures, there is nothing in this book of any value that you couldn't figure out on your own. Professional Technicians beware. Made for the proverbial "Dirtbag Grease Monkey". But I think even he would be insulted with the lack of information here!

Utterly and completely useless,
By A Customer
This review is from: Chilton's Auto Repair Manual 1996-2000 (Hardcover)
..................................................If I could give this book ZERO stars, I would. Professional mechanics use electronic systems today. When they don't they use "Professional" books like MOTOR and Mitchell. These NICHOLS books are hardly for Pro's. This NICHOLS company has only been in business for around 3 years. They specialize in DIY (do it yourself) books. Putting "Professional" on the cover hardly makes it a professional book.

Sorry Dad.....,
By A Customer
This review is from: Chilton's Auto Service Manual 2001: Professional Technician's Manual (Paperback)
I have been regularly giving my Dad the yearly Chilton Book for years on his birthday. He has several volumes until 1998 and he loves them and refers to them constantly for his business. He was very disapointed in this book and was more disapointed when he saw how much it cost online. He couldn't believe the price went up for this. He is keeping it, a gift, but asked to me to send this review. For a Chilton Book, thats saying alot.
