Founded in 1960 in Somerset, England, Haynes is the global leader in automotive and motorcycle repair, maintenance and customization manuals. With over 150 million manuals sold to date, Haynes Manuals are a "must read" for all car do-it-yourselfers. What sets Haynes manuals apart from the rest is the attention to detail in the production of each and every book. In fact, each manual requires an estimated 30 man-weeks because they tear down every car and show step-by-step instructions so that you can take apaprt and reassemble any part of your vehicle that you might need to!

John Haynes first started documenting automotive repair with English sports cars when he was still in college. He continued even while serving in the Royal Air Force. His first published manual was on the English Austin-Healy Bugeye ("frogeye) Sprite in 1965. He did it then the same way they do it now, by tearing each car apart piece by piece and putting it all back together again all the while photographing it all! Haynes Manuals set the standard for every automotive manual out there.
