Is there a Chilton/Hayes repair manual out yet for the HHR? I can't seem to find one

 

I am sure there is for the standard HHR.

Also try the local library as my wifes has most Chiltons for almost any model car.

Might look into a factory Helms book at Chiltons is just a readers digest like manual. They are not cheap but they have all the details not just a light generic overview.

 

The only repair manuals I can find are from Helminc.com, 2008 is $150, 2007 is $135.

 

wowzers.. 150$ on a repair manual.. for that id hope it fixes my problems for me

 

nothing out there for cheaper than 150?

 

And you won't find one. Standard Chilton's (and Haynes) policy is the book does not come out until a set period after the vehicle's introduction. Usually, they wait until a year after a significant redesign of the vehicle: that way they have access to the manufacturer's diagrams in addition to any teardowns they perform of vehicles.

 

I went to a Dealer and they were nice and printed all wiring info that I was looking for. Yep $150 is steeeeepppp!!!!

 

You fellas need to quit complaining about a $150 manual for a $20,000 car. Don't be penny wise and pound foolish. I've had a factory book for nearly every car I've ever owned that was worth a damn. If it doesn't pay for itself several times over during the life of the car, something's seriously wrong. Even going to an outside mechanic is sometimes cheaper if you have the Helms book sitting on the front seat.

In fact, it pays for itself the very first time you don't screw something up. Even a mild "oops" is usually $200+ on a modern car.

 

haha. true. i normally dont own cars long enough to have issues
and if i have problems its warranty work.. so i dont think it would
pay for itself in my situation.. but for someone who plans on havin
the HHR for 5-10-15 years. i could see it DEFF paying u back

 

The $150 dollars is cheap when you have something appart and need to get it back together again.
