I buy these whenever I can. Not cheap 'tho.

It depends on what kind of car you have. With the internet nowadays most stuff can be easily found with a quick Google search. FSM's (Factory Service Manuals) can come in handy, but sometimes they can be overwhelming to a novice.

With my Stealth I have a FSM on disk and I have torn that car apart so many times that I can basically do anything blindfolded. Anything I don't know how to do all I have to do is make a phone call and get instructions from one of several people. With my Grand Prix I use Google and YouTube. I replaced the Intermediate Steering Shaft on it by finding a write up someone had done, and then I watched a video on YouTube.

I replaced the steering rack and reading a quick write up. I found a video as backup, but it wasn't even needed with the write up. I replaced the heater core by finding where someone had posted pages out of a manual. All the other crap I have done by figuring it out as I go.

I have relied on Faxon for decades....

Some hardware stores offers these kind of deals or coupon on their products, you need to visit your local stores for this.

When it comes to service books, I believe it's better to stay with the ones offered by dealers itself.

helm is the way to go.
