This site is great

This is the third time I have purchased a maintenance manual for the Alfa Romeo Mito QV, including from other sites.
It contained exactly what I needed, which was very helpful.
The manuals I have purchased from other companies have never been as detailed as this one.
Your manual is the best.
I will definitely purchase a manual from you again.

Factorymanual Scam

I purchased a manual that I never received. When I Filed a claim with PayPal they told me they would never give me a refund as long as PayPal was in the process. Basically leveraging my money to take away any protections I may have, of course I refused.

Hi Galen Zlotnick,

Not sure why you’re using a fake name on your review, “Alex Bornt.” We clearly advertised the 2000 model service and repair manual, and you purchased it—even though you say you wanted the 2005. That was your oversight, not ours. We strive to provide accurate listings and helpful customer support, but it’s unfair to blame us for a mistake you made and then leave a negative review under a false identity.

We’re always happy to help our customers find the correct manual or work out any misunderstandings. If you truly need the 2005 version, please reach out to us directly, and we’ll see what we can do. Otherwise, we’ve responded to your PayPal dispute with full details.

2024 Jeep Wrangler

Order #18533: 2024 Jeep Wrangler
The new model for car manufacturers is to provide subscription based service manuals. While I understand the advantage of the manuals being updated regularly that's unpractical and pricy (by design I guess). I initially went to the MOPAR TSP to build my manual. It took me a very long time (Stellantis does it on purpose) and I ended up missing quite a few critical pages at the end. I decided to give factorymanuals.net a shot. Really not much to lose. That's for twice what I paid for 24H of access to the MOPAR portal. I receive a complete and indexed manual in minutes. Now, the manual they sent me was for the wrong engine. I emailed and they quickly replied and sent me a new link with the correct engine this time. I was curious and spot checked the factorymanuals.net manual against the MOPAR manual I started compiling. This is the real deal. This is the genuine Stellantis factory service manual. I like to work on my cars and I'm super happy to have the complete factory service manual for my new Jeep. Don't waste your time and money go straight to factorymanuals.net to get your service manual. Great communication and quick email responses if you ever run into an issue like me. Highly recommended!

It was important to me to have full…

It was important to me to have full wiring diagrams of the vehicle I was working on. I wrote and asked before purchasing the shop manual to be sure. As it turned out, Hyundai had a separate ETM manual in which FactoryManuals sent and gave me the manual for no charge!!
Awesome experience, thank you again Alan!!

Excellent organization to work with

Excellent organization to work with. I like to work on my own vehicles, do not trust most dealerships these days and have been looking for a service manual for two of my vehicles with no success unless I wanted to pay a subscription with Hyundai.
I came across Factory manuals and saw that they offered what appeared to be a solid and detailed manual for my vehicles, but I was hesitant to plug the trigger.
I will say what a great company to work with. I sent support a list of questions I had about the product, before I made the purchase and within a very respectable time, I received a response/answer to my questions along with a sample of what the manuals looked like.
I purchased two manuals and am very pleased that I did business with Factorymanuals

Purchased a service manual for my 2020 GMC Sierra 2500. I couldn’t figure out how to download it and messaged you guys for help. My help came promptly and with the exact info I needed to download it. Thank you for this. The manual looks very well put together and enjoy the CAD style illustrations.

Good Experience

Delivery was immediate. Manual was complete including wiring diagrams. Customer service was excellent in response to a question I had. I would recommend Factory Manuals.

I received my copy of the Tech Manual…

I received my copy of the Tech Manual from FactoryManuals for my 2020 Cadllac CT6, 2 days after ordering. Very prompt. After a bit of assistance from their supporty team I figued how to use the pdf Bookmarks and simple to find the area I want.

The manual is hearly 23,000 pages long, 1.3GB.

They also send a copy of Auto Repair Basics which I have looked at briefly (350 pages).

I was suprised how copmplete the Tech Manual is and first topic I reviewd is brake pad replacement and the second was infra Red night vision system. Very thorough on a very specific rarely needed topic.

All in all pleased and suprised.

Manually speaking... Very Cool 😎

Very short response time from purchase to download (Order #17400)... which went flawlessly. I had some problems at first with the PDF manual; the application responded verrry slowly through scrolling and searches. I reached out to FactoryManuals, and Alan came back within 5 minutes to bail me out! Users, be sure to load in the correct PDF app that FM recommends! After the PDFXchange all is well....and the Manual's content is Excellent!

FactoryManuals.net SCAMMERS

I bought a Mercedes s550 manual and you will think it’s a PDF but it’s NOT, the PDF cost $100. For the price on the website you will get a shitty “software” 28 GB 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. These people are SCAMMERS I advise you to stay away from FactoryManuals.net

Hi Anton Tano,

Our product page very clearly describes this manual as a "software" manual, not a "PDF" e-book file. You were even given a manual in an alternative format for your Mac computer so that you can run the manual natively without 3rd party software, you might have forgotten to mention this in your cringe review.
