Very good resource
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book was a very good resource for my car. The details, descriptions, and also real world advice made it possible for me to take on a job that would have normally cost me around $800.00 in labor alone. Even if I didn't plan on working on my car, this book, and most likely all the other Haynes manuals, makes it a lot easier to understand the car, gives you the confidence to perform some of the maintenance yourself, and when it comes to bringing the car in for service you won't need to just plainly trust the mechanic and hope that they are not overcharging you. Overall great experience!
Gets the job done

I remember growing up with these books but have not seen them in a while. When I needed to work on my Camry again I was pleased to find it. The descriptions and the pictures are good. Sometimes you have to read it several times before tackling the job. You also need to jump around in the book at times which is fine.
Toyota Repair Manual

The manual is well written with adequate pictures and drawings for both the Camry and the Avalon. This is a good buy for the do-it-yourself'er for minor maintenance and adjustments.
Terrific book! Everyone should have one!

Everyone should get the repair manual for their car from Haynes or Chilton. These are great books that provide very detailed information for you to make most repairs. I firmly believe it's a good idea to use this as a reference to at least learn to do basic maintenance. This book will end up saving you a lot of money and it will ensure that your car lasts for a long time. For the more experienced do-it-yourselfer, you already know what a great book this is for auto repair, so there's no need to convince you. If not to do your own repair work, consider this to help you understand your car and better communicate with your mechanic.
