Where were wiring diagrams?

Very difficult to navigate seems like similar information is in several random locations

All other content is as promised

Very hard to navigate. Could not even find a index

The download I received was a complete waste of my money. Was not even close to what it was represented as. I thought I was getting a proper service repair manual. What I got was a collection of service bulletins. I sent an email to your company right after I looked through it requesting my money back. Have yet to hear a response. Terry Muich

Not a hard copy manual and the file is to big too load on my computer.

I'm trying to download the manual to my laptop. Can't get a table of contents on my phone. Might have a better review the

After directions from from factory manuals,
I downloaded Adobe Acrobat-working great. Great customer service!!!

easy

More detailed than I thought, still trying to navigate through it, not what I thought it would be, thought it would be more like the Haynes manual.

Delivery via wifi great.

Great

It was much larger than i expected. 5 documents at 12k pages each. Its not something ill actually be able read but its easy enough to find what you need..
The Ford F250 manual is much easier to navigate at just over 8000 pages.
If i spend the money for Adobe Acrobat Professional ill be able to break it down into manageable bits.
Both manuals area great value for the money.

Manual ok. Very hard to find info pertaining to my vehicle

Easy to use and great to look up tech specs.

Easy to find the exact manual for your vehicle, great directions for the download process for the less than savvy internet users.

The manual is awesome!

Pretty good manual, bookmarking could be a little better

I am unable to open the manual. I guess I didn't process something right.

Got the manual almost immediately.

I need a printed 2015 Ford Taurus 3.5 engine repair manual either Chilton or Haynes

Excellent. Now I can actually start working on my cars again with confidence. YouTube videos really are inadequate.

Schematics were not high resolution making the markings and names difficult to read when zoomed in. Improvement is needed. Otherwise it is a good document.

Vary easy

Very satisfied with my purchase. Has all clear details and fixes like the oem factory manual have. Thanks and God bless you.

Finding and ordering the manual for my vehicle was very easy

I wasn’t sure why I needed this to be a PDF, but it was apparent once I got it. It includes what would be thousands of pages if it were in print. The links take you to wherever you need to go in the text.

I didn’t realize I would have a link in an email to click to get another email with another link to download.

would rather have a maintenance manual. have a parts manual from parts vu company. only difference is that your parts manual has all together whereas the parts vu had to download the differsections individually.

Our original order was supposed to be for our 2014 Subaru Outback, yet the manual came up as Forester. We did have to purchase a new manual in order for them to send us the correct manual. We hope it will help us repair our Subaru.
