Customer Reviews

Aready saved me money!

I bought this just to have a reference in case I wanted to look something up. I hadn't had it two weeks when I ran into a problem that the shop couldn't figure out. After reading the appropriate section I figured out what was wrong and fixed it myself!

Great

I wanted to know more about my 2000 Corolla. This book gives you mostly clear instructions on how to replace components of your car. I wish I could compare it to Chilton's version of the car.

Haynes Repair Manual

The Haynes Repair Manuals are well worth the money. Keep in mind these are not as detailed as the auto manufacturer's service manuals, but of course you are only paying a fraction of the cost as the manufacturer's service manuals. These manual include most anything a weekend mechanic needs. They include several photos of repair procedures, tune-up specifications, torque specifications and electrical wiring diagrams for your vehicle. There are times the Haynes manuals lack some detail of your vehicle, but overall they are a good buy. I would recommended these manuals for most people. I always buy one for every vehicle I own.

Average manual

I think it could be better if the details are for only one model

Good overall, with a few shortcomings

This manual is not as custom as it claims to be, for two reasons: First, it covers nearly a decade of cars (and those after '97 have key differences from earlier models) so photos and details are often not of your car, but rather just a car like yours. Second, many parts of the body and engine are similar to many other cars, and at points throughout the book it feels like the authors just copied and pasted whole sections from another manual in the Haynes series. This book would benefit from a section at the front where the engine is thoroughly diagrammed. I would like to be able to look at a series of photos and know how to identify every part of the car. Maybe even they could stoop to the level of giving us a sentence or two about what each part does. As it's set up now, I find myself flipping between chapters a lot to find where a particular engine component is located. For more advanced mechanics, those suggested components aren't necessary, I'm sure. But I get the impression that's not who this book is aimed at in the first place.
