Customer Reviews

Not Concise
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.

Has its moments and applications
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.

Useless
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.
