It’s a common sight to see a would be mechanic with a spanner in one hand, leant over the engine of a car, and one of the Haynes Car Manuals in the other hand. They are every car owner’s bible, for people who want to fix their own vehicle and garage professionals use them too. The series is designed to instruct on the repair and maintenance of a vast range of vehicle makes and models. There are also editions on different types of motorcycles. Originally called Haynes Owners Workshop Manuals, the books enable the owner to strip a vehicle down if necessary and build it up again. This is done with the aid of diagrams, photographs and easy to follow instructions.

The series has now been translated into fifteen languages, including Greek, Hebrew, Russian, German, Czech, French, Polish, Swedish, Chinese and Japanese. English editions have been further split into American English and Australian English versions. There is also an American Spanish edition. The first ever Haynes Car Manuals volume was for the Austin Healey Sprite in 1965. Other makes to follow included Ford, Chrysler, Chevrolet, Toyota, BMW, Alfa Romeo, Mercedes-Benz and Honda. There is also an edition titled Citroen and Peugeot Engine Management Systems.

The Haynes Publishing Group Company is based in Somerset, England, where there is also a Haynes Motor Museum, containing the largest collection of classic cars in the UK. Haynes Car Manuals, in addition to producing books on specific models, also publish a series of technical manuals. These include the Automotive Diesel Engine Service Guide, Automotive Air Conditioning Tech Book and the Engine Management and Fuel Injection Systems Pin Tables. There are also editions on emissions control, brakes, suspension, electrical systems, wiring diagrams and body repair and painting.

The Haynes Group also publishes titles on other subjects but these are not nearly so well known. These include books on personal computers, digital photography, model railways and domestic appliances. Vehicle models come and go but the technical make up and history of each one is captured in the Haynes Car Manuals, a vast library of knowledge. They are vital sources of information when a new vehicle comes on the market and when someone acquires a used car or classic car. Even a rookie mechanic can learn the basics of car maintenance pretty quickly as the books are so user friendly. Of course, if you still don’t know where the brakes are, consult a qualified expert!
