where to buy/download online service manual

[Jake]

Hey All;

I watched an ETCG YouTube on “service manuals” and understand/appreciate the difference btwn factory service manual v. Haynes, Chilton, Mitchell, etc… ETCG shows he bought Odyssey van manual w/ ETM manual for $80. ETCG also showed he bought a download service manual (same content and easily searchable) for his Subaru Legacy for $8. He does not say where to buy the service manual. I service following cars for my family: 1995 F150, 2002 Camry, 2004 E350, 2004 Accord.
?? Where can I buy/download service manual for above vehicles?? Thanks a bunch.

I haven’t checked today but in the past I bought three off of Ebay.

If you google “Service Manual for [insert make model here] it should come up with what you need.

What kind of car do you have? The actual factory service manuals are very expensive in print form, however, http://www.rockauto.com sometimes carries CD versions for like $20. Depending on the car, they may have it.

Try this for Toyota. May take a while to build your way back to general Toyota page and find your car. It’s not easy to navigate site – but heck of manuals.

Try this for Honda.

Btw, Alldata DIY membership is only $40 for 5 years, so it’s $8 a year. Each additional vehicle is only $15 for 5 years. That’s unbeatable price for pretty much factory manuals and online support.

Indeed. Also gives you all dealership repair times and costs, including part numbers and current pricing. So even if you are forced to go dealer, you do not get ripped off.
I wouldn’t call it perfect, but it’s quite good and much better than Haynes or Chilton.

Or Mitchell has a similar program, not sure on the details. But I can confirm that Mitchell (OnDemand and ProDemand) are quite literally the factory service manual, but I think they redo the wiring diagram format.

yep. ALLDATA is great site. Fleet maintenance at my job uses it but can’t extend to POV.s At 4 cars, buying it is a little heavier than I was looking for (ETCG had $8 for one car… Alldata is $45 for one car + $30 each additional car. It’ll pay for itself in detailed info & repair time. I was just looking for better deal.
Thanks guys
