heh you can't really compare the two.

Helm's = Honda/Acura dealer service technician's manual

Chilton's or Haynes = Home DIY'er manual

However I like to have both Helms and Haynes manuals for my car because there are in fact a few maintenance procedures (like flushing the cooling system) that the Haynes manual goes into more detail on. The Helm's manual really only shows how to drain and refill the system, not flush it out completely.

I also have both.... but I like the helms better. It basically tells you have to dismantle and put your car back together completely!

Buy the Helm manual. It's what you need when you're working on the car. You can buy one here.
