Even if you don't intend to do your own work, you owe it to yourself to check with Chilton's to see what's involved. I knew a set of front brakes on my Camry was going to run upwards of $250 at the dealership. But after reviewing the step by step instructions with illustrations, I knew I could do this one myself. Great way to get to know your car better. My only complaint - the book 'construction' isn't great. The paper is a step up from newsprint, and I'm not impressed. All in all, worth the investment; this one paid for itself the first time I used it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good. But don't buy both Chilton and Haynes, March 9, 2011

This manual has been helpful in the short time that I've had it. It doesn't have quite everything that I was hoping for, but it does have most of what I need and I'm glad to have it. I'm sure that I will use it on many occasions. Just a friendly note: Don't buy the Chilton manual AND the Haynes manual. They are both written and published by the same people and the manuals are almost, if not exactly, identical. I purchased both thinking that I might find that one had information the other did not. I was wrong and just wasted the money on the second book. Get one and you'll be happy.

I've found this book to be very complete. It provides both background and step-by-step instructions. It also recommends the types of tools that are necessary to perform the maintenance. I recommend this book even if you aren't planning to do the work yourself. Knowledge is power, especially when you go to the automechanic's shop.
