Summer Car Care with Chilton Library

General

Summer’s longer days and warmer weather lend themselves to tending to our cars. Car owners can refer to ChiltonLibrary to help keep their vehicles operating properly.

Are the air conditioner and ventilation system working properly to temper those hot summer days? Are the brakes making noise? Is there an unusual smell? ChiltonLibrary includes original equipment manufacturer (OEM) diagnostics and repair procedures for each component, including heaters, ventilation, and brakes. Is it time to check the spark plugs? ChiltonLibrary illustrations show how to tell whether to replace the spark plugs, as well as the steps to remove and install them.

Chilton has been trusted by automotive enthusiasts for more than 100 years. Today’s ChiltonLibrary provides access to repair, maintenance, and service information for popular cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs going back several decades. No other source contains more years, makes, and models!
