3.0 out of 5 stars
A little too general, June 19, 2003
This review is from: GM S-Series Pick-Ups and SUVs 1994-99 (Chilton's Total Car Care Repair Manuals) (Paperback)
This would be a great book for someone new to working on cars. I felt they tried to include too many models to be specific. The pictures and diagrams are usually not of my truck. The general information and the plan of action/troubleshooting sections are good.

4.0 out of 5 stars
From a non-mechanical reader, September 7, 2005
This review is from: GM S-Series Pick-Ups and SUVs 1994-99 (Chilton's Total Car Care Repair Manuals) (Paperback)
To my surprise with little mechanical knowledge or experience, I was able to understand surprisingly more than I expected. However, there were still procedures I could only understand up to a point where I had to skip on to another section unless I happened to be with a mechanical minded person who could explain in simpler terms. The biggest part of a "4 instead of 5 rating" may even be my incompetence rather than the publisher's writing ability. No doubt it is the best you can get without spending $400-$500 for the auto manufacturer's manuals. Filled with tips and tricks of auto repair which alone are worth the cost of the book.
