GM Auto Repair Manual (1986-1995 Buick, Olds., Pontiac) November 3, 2000
10 out of 12 found this review helpful

I often found the manual more frustrating than helpful. Pictures are numbered but the number is rarely used (see illustration rather than referring to the number). A popular engine during the time span designated was the GM 2.5 L OHV. No complete picture of the engine, only partial views in the manual. The PCV valve explanation on page 1-25 is incomplete (see Chiltons). The organization of the manual could be better. A great manual for a GM mechanic but not for the back-yard mechanic. A good supplement to the Chilton's manual.

GM Repair made easy. February 17, 1999

The book has excellent picture references and well thought out instructions. Wiring diagrams are well done too. The only draw back is it offers no vacuum hose diagrams. I believe it is a good book for the basic home mechanic.
