I was having trouble downloading my manual. I intended to download load it to my laptop instead of my phone. I had waited until it was updated then attempted the download, but it would not download.I sent an email to the administrator address and, yes, 21 minutes later, James had responded with a solution to my issue. Alan has followed up with several emails to assist in setting up my manual and offer any other assistance that I might need. Great customer service. GREAT response time. Very pleased with my purchase and their assistance.
Great Experience
It was a great experience and convenient way to buy a manual from the Factory Manual site. Once I followed the easy instructions, I received the link to download the manual. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a service manual for your vehicle. The customer service followed up on the sale to see if I had any problems. Great service!

Alan contacted me immediately when I reached out to the store and explained that I had received the wrong e-manual for my vehicle and he sent me the correct link to download the one I needed. Thank you Alan for your quick response and help with this. I really appreciate that you got right on it and fixed the issue I had getting the correct e-manual
Exactly what I was looking for.
Order #21726. Needed a repair and service manual for my 2007 vehicle. Replacing A/C compressor, Oil Cooler lines, Steering column UV joint boot, etc. Ebay has some downloadable PDFs or a USB/CD/DVD. I have done those in the past and HATE using them. I also didn't want to pay for a monthly subscription to a website to view the manuals online. This product runs in a virtual machine on my desktop. Everything worked perfectly and the instructions were bullet proof. I OWN this now and can use it forever.

I ordered a manual online and my computer was not cooperating with the download file. It had me so stressed that I was pulling my hair out until I reached out to customer service and I was assisted by Alan Davis who took the time to walk me through the process step by step. With his help I was able to solve the problem and I now have access to the manual so I can repair my own vehicle rather than being taken advantage of by my local European import repair shops.
Fast customer service.
I initially received the wrong manual, but the correct manual was sent to me the following day. I enjoyed working with their customer service, fast and friendly service. Order number 20857, Israel Botello
I purchase a manual for 2015 BMW z4
I purchase a manual for 2015 BMW z4. For the price on the website you will get a software file called OVA, you’ll need to download VirtualBox and the file through Dropbox then load that file accordingly into VirtualBox to be able to open and browse the manual. The problem is that you can’t download the OVA file completely, it will be interrupted and you have to start over again failing all the time. After seven attempts to download, and ten attempts to correct through customer service, the company refused to refund my purchase though the product was totally useless to me.

Avoid this site if you are not a computer wiz. :Updated 4/7/2025
UPDATED: The merchant has reconsidered my position and issued a refund, which is/was fair given the circumstances.
It is rare that I find myself writing a negative review, especially for a $24 purchase, however I would strongly recommend that you consider carefully before you purchase a digital manual from this site.
For most of us, digital means .pdf, .xls or .doc. What I found out AFTERWARDS, was that the file was .Rtf with which I was not familiar with. The instructions to download were complicated and not suitable for casual computer user.
I never attempted to download the actual file, as I knew the instructions were beyond my ability to mange, and contacted the firm the next day to cancel the order.
A flat NO.
This company should more clearly explain the download process and indicate that the files are .Rtp, not the standard .pdf, .xls or .doc.
Very disappointed with their position.

Being new to this type of manual and…
Being new to this type of manual and unfamiliar with the software platforms used I needed extensive assistance in using the manual for my car.
This assistance, along with a specific tutorial was extensively provided with a helpful attitude and great patience by Jim and Alan.
I can use the manual to get very specific detailed information
Alan was very accommodating
Alan was very accommodating. There were two manuals for my vehicle when selecting my car. I did my best to ask the right questions... but the first manual i received was actual quite clumsy to use and frankly did not have much information at all. i reached out and Adam found the correct manual and resent it. I am very satisfied with Adam's help!

I ordered a repair manual for my 2017 dodge durango Rt v8 hemi ( order # 6368746930460 ) Product delivery was super fast and customer support was phenomenal when I had any questions. Highly recommend.
Exelent and quick support responce
Exelent and quick support responce. I love that, Very polite represenetive and helpfull in all of my qestions regurding the menual purchase!
Trust these people.
Purchasing anything online is spooky. For this reason, I asked several questions just to see if I would get a response. Passing that test, I purchased a manual, and received download info almost immediately. I could not be more pleased, and I will use them again should I need more tech manuals.
ON POINT
Alan is extremely prompt and precise. I communicated my questions on five different occasions prior to and after my purchase. His communications are the sole reason I purchased this product as opposed to purchasing from another company. In a nutshell...this process was on point.
Loved the repair manual
Loved the repair manual has everything from electrical issues and how to solve the issue. Also includes removing/installing starter, alternator etc. everything you need for your vehicle.

Had an issue with using software initially. Found out there was nothing wrong with the software but a setting in my computer bios. Alan from Factory Manual support replied promptly with resolving my issue.
Very thorough manuals, good product support.
Very thorough manuals. The one I ordered for my Jetta was almost 20k pages long. Not all the sections are indexed, so keep looking if you don't find what you're looking for. I ordered specifically for the wiring diagrams, which were all present. Customer support was quick to answer my question, and at their low prices it's a big plus that they even provide support!
Good customer service
Good customer service, was helpful in finding the right repair manual.
