I have always thought of the Haynes manuals as a good first step. They are something to read over before you move on to a more detailed book.

I think for most people they are OK. They look at them and decide to take it to the shop after reading about what will need to be done.

The only thing I have ever been satisfied with are the Mercedes published manuals.

But then, we are sort of the hard core. How many people, outsided of the types that are on this board, could use more info even if they had it?
