Car repair book useful and saves money

Helped replace the wiper motor on a 2000 Pontiac minivan. The husband said that a handy book and some basic knowledge of auto repair will go a long way since car models vary slightly and the book will help you in your repair work. Now you don't have to worry about driving 15 miles in the rain without wipers. Excellent purchase

Pros
  • Industry best
Cons
  • Not as fat as other pickups

Good management, lousy van

Bought 01 Pontiac Montana for my wife. She hates this car and wants me to buy her a new one. Since I'm a good husband, I just won't do it. I'll just keep correcting it. that's the meanest joke there is. and this guide helped me with that. So far it has worked for me, changed water pump, starter motor, flushed cooling system, changed alternator, replaced head gasket, upper intake manifold gasket, exhaust manifold gasket, pretty much everything, I've fixed everything. I couldn't have done it…

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Not bad

OK For scheduled maintenance

The book is suitable for scheduled maintenance and repairs. It was released in 2001, the same year as Montana, which I'm working on. Unfortunately, the book does not cover all the problems that this car may encounter. It does not cover problems with electronic modules, which are a real problem for this car. The location of the modules is also not specified. It also doesn't say where the electrical connections are so they can be checked and cleaned. I'm glad this used book is reasonably priced…

Pros
  • Top marks for support and longevity of testers
Cons
  • Some small things

Good general guide.

I've owned my '99 Silhouette Van for almost 8 years. Now I'm at the point where I don't want to pay $60 plus an hour to have someone else fix minor issues with it. Since purchasing the manual I have replaced the driver's side mirror and vent speed control. The mirror is $35 and the controller is $18. Replacing both took some time and effort (particularly the ventilation controls). I estimate management saved me $300 or more in labor plus taxes. Who is this guide useful for? On a scale of 1 to…

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • So far, so good
