Here we have put together a few suggestions for useful car repair books on many different topics.

I strongly suggest that you purchase a Haynes Workshop Manual or something similar for your car.
I have bought a Haynes Manual for every car I have ever owned and I am sure that this small
outlay has saved me money every time. These type of manuals will help you perform your own
car diy repairs and save you money.

I am no mechanic but these car repair books have helped me to understand more about my cars.
They have enabled me to perform simple car diy repair work, such as changing an alternator.
The manuals will help you to fault find problems and tell you how to repair it in step-by-step stages.

If doing the repair yourself is a little bit beyond your capabilities or you do not have the tools,
you are always in a better position when taking the car to the garage if you know what the fault is.
I am not suggesting that all garages are waiting to rip you off, but if you show that you know a little bit
about the cars faults instead of nothing at all, you are less likely to get taken for a ride.

The range of Haynes workshop manuals is very extensive and they cover most cars.
You can buy them from most large motor stores like Halfords but I would suggest you purchase haynes manuals online as you will not end up driving all the way to your local store to find out they do not have your cars manual in stock. You can get many car repair books online, not just Haynes manuals.
