Task #5--Chiltons

Okay, I have a husband and two sons who work on vehicles (one is actually working as an engineer for a company that designs carburetor parts), so this one is pretty much a no-brainer for me. All three guys have used the site--more than once. I also show patrons asking for our repair manuals the site and its easy access from home. I thnk this is one of our better databases. The guys love it. I've even had guys sign up for a card so they can access it at home. One even remarked, "I can take my laptop out to the garage and look at Chilton's while I'm working on my truck."

As for ease of use, the site is visitor friendly. It's also nice to have recall notices for vehicles.

I looked up my car (Pontiac Grand Am 2000) and found instructions for removal & installation of struts and HVAC blower motor. The pictures are great and print out very clear. Believe I'll leave the mechanicking part up to my guys.
