    I'm thinking of buying a Chilton Auto Repair Manual for the Buick Regal (1988-1996) issue which is selling for $22.80 at this site I'm browsing.

    Any one have that book? Was the price worth it?

    Thanks.

    I find the Chilton manual useless 90% of the time. AllDataDIY is good, I have a subscriptio. I've heard the factory service manual is the best.

    factory manuals can be well over $100. I generally buy a Chilton repair manual book for each vehicle I work on. Chilton used to be a good repair manual years ago when cars were simpler.
