    If anything, a good resource to have in your back pocket.

    I always buy a repair book when I get a different car. It has sure saved me a lot of money and yes the cost of the books has gone up but then again hasn't everything

    Thank you for sharing! We've been doing our own vehicle maintenance and it is so helpful to have a good resource to refer to.

    My ford haynes are terrible. Pretty basic explanations.

    i have many different Haynes manuals for vehicles i own but they no longer publish them, info only on line now. i have books/manuals (motor/chilton/etc) going all the way back to the 1920s, both car & hvy truck, domestic & import. i have a book titled a Treatise on Self Propelled Vehicles copyright 1906. not bragging it took 50 years to accumulate it all. my newest books end in 2004 won't get any newer ones because i'm not buying more expensive tools and info that i may use a only a couple times a year, what i have covers my vehicles i own now.
