More About the Author

Since 1950, Bentley Publishers has helped professionals and do-it-yourself mechanics by publishing highly detailed automotive manuals and time-saving service guides. We started by reprinting and distributing hard-to-find British car manuals, such as Austin-Healey, MG, and Triumph. Today we offer a full line of technical automotive reference information for Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Volkswagen and many other vehicles.

Everything that goes into a Bentley manual - from developing the outline, tearing down a car, authoring the repair information, taking our own photography, to meticulously disassembling the vehicle (and putting it back together again!) - is done by our team of Technical Editors right here in our Cambridge, Massachusetts office.

In authoring our manuals, our approach has been to go for the details, resulting in books that may look intimidating, but are easy to use. More detail and less "averaging of facts" leads to less guess work when you are working on a car.

5.0 out of 5 stars The only, and best manual for your Boxster, February 20, 2006
By 
This review is from: Porsche Boxster Service Manual: 1997-2004 Boxster, Boxster S (Robert Bentley) (Paperback)
I've been working on cars since I can remember and can do just about anything, but the mid engine layout of the Boxster has made it a little more challenging. This manual is the best I've ever seen, even better than Chilton's series. It shows clearly how to perform simple (change oil) and complex (change clutch assembly) maintenance, how to access the darn motor, etc. Pictures are clearly labeled, anyone could pick up this book and do most any procedure. Complete electrical diagrams are a nice touch too. Lots of nice extras include full specs, year to year changes, performance specs, part #'s, etc. If you have a Boxster, you know how much they charge for basic maintenance, buy this manual and save yourself a bundle. Put that $$ you saved into some performance parts :)

4.0 out of 5 stars It's what I expected, March 23, 2006
This review is from: Porsche Boxster Service Manual: 1997-2004 Boxster, Boxster S (Robert Bentley) (Paperback)
Don't expect this book to go into intimate detail on all of the topics that it covers; it is mainly about getting you familliar with the 97-2004 models. The book is big and contains good pictures. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about their car. If you just want to learn how to do regular maintenance, grab this. If you want to learn how to do more complex things, like replacing your convertible top, you will need the porsche tech manual.

This review is from: Porsche Boxster Service Manual: 1997-2004 Boxster, Boxster S (Robert Bentley) (Paperback)
Fortunately, I have had to use the book only once so far and as simple as it sounds, I couldn't have replaced the headlight bulb without it. But I think the authors should make note that the low beam/high beam bulbs are reversed, depending on which side of the car you are working on. Little details like that can waste an hour or two trying to diagnois a problem that can't be fixed with their illustration. Low beam is the lower bulb on the left side of the car but on top on the right side of the car. Having said that, the book paid for itself with this one repair, the dealer wanted $95 (1 hour labor) and $18 for the halogen replacement bulb to complete the repair.
