easy step by step instructions. This book is easy to follow even for the non mechanic out there, buy this book.
Do not buy this book. It has absolutely no detail and states only what you can already figure out using common sense. I wanted help replacing the carburetor on my 1989 Honda Accord. The book says to remove hoses, connections and loosen the mounting nuts and lift out the carburetor and then install the new carburetor the same way the old one was installed—that’s it. No help with hose diagrams or information about how to disconnect or reconnect anything. Also, the carburetor won’t just lift out—it is necessary to loosen the manifold to get the thing out. The book doesn’t even mention that. As I said, the book is useless. I wouldn’t have given it even one star, but I had no choice.
it came earlier then i thought it would its a helpfull book to have but its a little hard to read and under stand but win you do figure it out it helps out alot and for the price its worth having around for that low of a price
I own both the Chilton’s manual and the service manual and I use them almost an equal amount when working on my ’92 Accord. Yes, the Chilton’s doesn’t contain as much model-specific information as the service manual, but at times the service manual is too technical and difficult to follow. That’s when I turn to the Chilton’s manual. IMHO it’s well worth the price.
confusing, no detail…. You cannot wirte a 276 pg book for 10 years worth of 2 different cars… There are no pictures and often little detail on what you are supposed to be looking at… Maybe a good, i mena good mechanic could use this book, but no one else…
Chiltons total care is not as concise as the factory manual. There are too many cars in one book to begin with.(accord and prelude)Also, it covers different year cars. There are lack of detailed diagrams as well. I would suggust getting a factory manual. It covers only your particular year and model and still fills 500 pages or so.
i brought this manual to repair my 93 accord, and there’s too much stuff about preludes and old accords. A useful book, but take much models for a short book. A bigger book should solve it, with more photos.
More brief coverage on things. More like a trained mechanic’s book versus a self repair. Delivery was prompt and the book in gray shape.
We bought this book for our son so he has a reference guide if he has any problems with his car. He likes the book and said it will be very helpful and has helped him out he is still learning more about cars and how to work on them.
Good information provided for the average car owner, usually clearly and often to the point.
