Chilton Repair Manuals on cars, pick-ups and vans

Total Care Manuals have been published by Chilton since 1925. This renowned American publisher was acquired in 1996 by the British Haynes group, with over 200 million books sold by far the largest publisher of car maintenance and repair manuals in the world.

• For each Chilton Repair Manual a car is completely disassembled and then reassembled, if possible without the use of special tools.
• At the same time the various repairs and maintenance works are photographed in detail.
• Thanks to the hundreds of photos and drawings, it is easy to follow the short step-by-step instructions.
• All adjustment data are arranged in clear tables, while clear wiring diagrams are also included.

Important: These Chilton Repair Manuals are published for the North American market. Although these books are also usuable for U.S. models sold in Europe, these may differ in some areas (especially the anti-pollution and safety equipment).

Publisher: Chilton (USA). The TMB Bookshop is an official dealer for Haynes and Chilton Manuals.

Units: Chilton workshop manuals list measures and weights in ISO units (m, kg, Nm, ...) as well as in Imperial units (inch, ft, lb ft, ...).
