Yep. I suspect it's the same for everybody.
Except the dealers.
BTW, ebay might be a good place for shop manuals.
I have a set for all my cars. Paid anywhere from 20 to 50 bucks on
ebay for the 2-volume sets.
These are the same "factory" manuals the dealers use for servicing.
Big difference from the aftermarket books if you want to get into it.
Probably harder to get outboard manuals than Chevy manuals though.
