How Could this happen?,
By puxatawni Phil (Fulton, IN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nichols' Chilton Labor Guide Manual 2000 : 1981-00 Domestic Cars, Light Trucks, Vans & Suvs; 1981-99 Import Cars, Light Trucks, Vans & Suvs) (Chilton's Labor Guide Manual, 1981-2000) (Hardcover)
This is a CHILTON book. It is NOT a CHILTON book. It is a NICHOLS book. I have used the Chilton Labor Book for 25 years. This book is not what I have been using. The layout is completely different. The paper it is printed on is like toilet paper. The labor times do not jibe with all my other Chilton books. This book does not even look like a Chilton book. I was informed that this company "Nichols" has never made a labor book before. Nichols said they made this book by researching "on their own" 20 years of every labor operation on every car and truck produced in the last 20 years. They said they did this all within 6-9 months. How is that possible? I don't think I can trust this product. It doesn't have the (factory time) listed. It even states in the front of this book that no "times" in it are from previous Chilton editions. What does that mean?

Great Value,

This review is from: Nichols' Chilton Labor Guide Manual 2000 : 1981-00 Domestic Cars, Light Trucks, Vans & Suvs; 1981-99 Import Cars, Light Trucks, Vans & Suvs) (Chilton's Labor Guide Manual, 1981-2000) (Hardcover)
This is a no-nonsense labor guide. Despite the problems listed here by other reviewers, you won't find this information at a better price! This book is a great value for the information included!

The worst Labor Guide I have seen,
By Lawrence Tuffor (Murfeesboro, TN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nichols' Chilton Labor Guide Manual 2000 : 1981-00 Domestic Cars, Light Trucks, Vans & Suvs; 1981-99 Import Cars, Light Trucks, Vans & Suvs) (Chilton's Labor Guide Manual, 1981-2000) (Hardcover)
I have owned every brand Labor guide in my 30 years in the Automotive repair business. Motor, Mitchell, Chilton. This Nichols Chilton book is obviously not made for me or any Professional Technician. It is printed on the cheapest paper I have ever seen. It looks like they tried to make it look like a real Professional Chilton book but it doesn't. The spine of this book looks like it would last all of 2 weeks in a shop environment. To top it all off Nichols has NEVER made a Labor Guide before this one. If your a backyard mechanic and want to see how much time a job should take this book is OK. If you are a Professional Technician you should pass this one up.
