Although originally for the professional car mechanic, where he/she could estimate the cost of a repair, this manual is actually more valuable now because of the fantastic references to part numbers and diagrams.

That’s not all…..each car maker has all the parts numbers and labor prices for their car, and include such things as: Front End Systems, Steering, Front Suspension, Brakes, Cooling Systems, Manifold Gaskets, Fuel Systems, and......
