This is the first Chilton manual I have bought, the auto parts store I typically frequent carries only the Haynes publications. I was looking for more information than what the Haynes manual had on replacing the timing chain on my Altima, and this book has completely converted me to Chilton from now on. The details, schematics, and photographs are better than the Haynes manual for the same car. In particular, the number of blown apart ink line schematics of complex assemblies are great, and lightyears ahead of what the Haynes manual provides. I was able to see exactly how the timing chain assembly went together so that I could better diagnose my problem, and fix it right.

I highly recommend the Chilton manuals now over Haynes, and will be getting a new Chilton for my Ford to supplement the Haynes I already have. ( )
