Excellent Product and Service

Order #15115 was super easy to place and I received my factory manual within an hour of ordering. I was expecting it within 24 hours, so the fast service was a welcome surprise. The manual itself is huge but easy to navigate and full of all necessary information.

Purchase was nice and easy

Purchase was nice and easy, I even had a problem with finding certain information and Alan reached out to me and showed me the index feature on their manuals. I highly recommend.

Dont buy from them.

I bought a service manual from them and it did not include the critical torque specs. Can't perrform any critial engine or transmission work without torque specs. They cant offer any other solution than a credit but what good does that do if it doesnt include the proper info. Not a real oem manual.

Hi John,

Thank you for your feedback, and I’m sorry the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 - 4WD Service and Repair Manual didn’t include the torque specs you needed. Unfortunately, we are limited by the content provided by the manufacturer, and in this case, torque specifications for certain sections were not included in the latest manual release.

We understand how essential this information is, and we offered in-store credit as a goodwill gesture to ensure you could find another manual that better suits your needs. While we strive to provide the most comprehensive manuals available, the completeness of specific details depends on the manufacturer.

We appreciate your understanding and hope to assist you better in the future.

I cannot believe some of the reviews

I cannot believe some of the reviews, I ordered a manual for my new Hyundai Santa Fe, got the download link a little later, and downloaded over 4000 pages of the factory manual.
It would be nice if there was an index, but otherwise
all looks great

Compatability Issue

I had a compatability issue during the download. Was utilizing an older computer with out of date software. Once I switched everything to the latest programs, such as adobe everything flowed very smoothly. very impressive program. The rep worked with me and was extremely helpful.

I read great reviews but DONT USE THEM

I read great reviews!
However, the experience has left me, for the rare time, to NOT TRUST THEM. Failed in providing me with the correct manual. They asked the simple query of what car, what year and the VIN plate. The VIN plate is specific to the exact car, year, model and specific features to that car (facelift, non-facelift etc). YET, they still cant provide me with the correct manual. I've asked for a refund, I've yet to receive one or YET to receive a manual for my car. SURELY IT CAN'T BE THIS HARD!!!
Last message! I've paid them, and have received a service manual or a vehicle I don't own!!. Ive been RIPPED OFF!!!! They have since stopped responding in my request to provide a manual that is for my car (not difficult). READ THEIR REFUND POLICY (they take your money and dont need to provide you with ANY correct information !!) Read it!

Hi Martin,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction with the 2018 AUDI RS7 Sportback OEM Service and Repair Workshop Manual. It appears there was some miscommunication regarding the specific chassis and engine details, despite the VIN and other information provided. While we strive to match manuals as closely as possible to your vehicle, the complexity of certain models and variations can occasionally lead to errors.

We appreciate your patience as we worked to resolve the issue and provided additional links and guidance. Your concerns regarding our refund policy are valid, and while we do offer in-store credit for such situations, I understand how frustrating this can be. We’ll take this as an opportunity to review our processes and improve our communication for better accuracy and customer satisfaction in the future.

If there’s anything further we can do to assist, please let us know.

Excellent customer service!

The manual that I ordered (order #14527) didn't have the information I was looking for, but they were very responsive and found one that did. Excellent customer service!

Great customer service

I've recently gone through FactoryManuals to get quality service manuals on two different cars. Both times I was very happy with the customer service. Turnaround was fast and I got exactly what I needed. Would highly recommend.
