Haynes is more user friendly if your a just a do it yourselfer.
Chiltons speaks in more technical terms, and does not have a trouble shooting section.
Chilton and Motors manuals free to read at your local public library.What is the best repair manual for a 92 regal custom?

The best is one from the factory..
after that.. I prefer Chilton....
At many auto parts stores you can buy a Haynes or Chilton's do-it-yourself manual for your model car, with step-by-step instructions, and basic explanations at the beginning of each chapter. If it is not in stock, you can order it online by searching on "auto repair manuals" on Yahoo search. These are the only two I know of, except the factory service manual available when you buy the car. In the front of the Haynes' is a section on "Troubleshooting" that guides you step-by-step to find causes of most engine malfunctions based on the car's symptoms. Whether you do the work yourself or not, it helps you make informed decisions and not be taken advantage of, and to not feel so "in the dark."
db667089 says: you can check http://www.alldatadiy.com. For about the same price as a Haynes or Chilton's repair manual, you can have online access (for a whole year) to model specific info for your particular vehicle. This is the same info that repair shops use. They have great wiring schematics/diagrams.
Also, for about $15 for a one-month subscription, you can get the factory manual, downloadable (careful! Mine was about 500 pages!) or viewable, at http://eAutoRepair.com. This is for factory techs, though, so it won't tell you how to do everything, it will expect you to already know some things.
Also, many people recommend autozone.com's free online manuals.
Best regards,
