Default Service Manual Questions!

Where can I get the best price for the service manual(s) for my car and approximately how much should I expect to pay? Thanks! :cool:

I bought mine through Helm Publications for $120.00 plus s/h. I've seen them a little cheaper through some of the vendors on the Forum.

They are well worth having. 3 huge manuals.

Thanks, guys. I guess I should have been more specific. I'm interested in getting the "official" GM service manuals. Is this what you purchased or are they aftermarket manuals? Thanks again!

Steve,

Mine are the"official" GM service manuals. Part # GMP/00-Y-1 (2) (3)
The 00 is due to mine being a 2000.
They are published by North American Operations, Gen. Motors Corp, Warren Michigan 48090

Hope this helps.

Mine are the "offical" GM service manuals. In case you didn't know, Ken Fichtner of Fichtner Chevrolet is a supporting forum vendor and can sell you just about anything "GM".......parts, cars,warranties, etc. :yesnod:
