Looks like an incomplete random collection of service manual pages with technical service bulletins mixed in, all in random order. This is nothing like what their site advertises.

I see that key engine, transmission, brake and suspension sections are extremely incomplete or completely missing.

Very disappointing.

I will dispute this with my credit card, and I will lodge a complaint with the various authorities, and I am going to show this to my attorneys, they are going to have fun with these goons.

The manual seems to be complete and was easy to download. The pages are images, however, and not searchable.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

This factory service and repair manual for the 1988 Chevrolet Beretta is written for one shape, the two-door coupe, sold in a single Base trim, with the real decision made under the hood: a 173-cubic-inch 2.8-liter V6 or a 122-cubic-inch 2.0-liter inline-four, both overhead-valve, both naturally aspirated, both gasoline. Engine mechanical, fuel, ignition and cooling material splits along that line; steering, braking, suspension, body and wiring work does not, and applies to every car built that year.

Engines covered

  • 2.8L V6 (173 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 2.0L inline-four (122 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 2-door coupe

Trims covered

  • Base

Known issues on the 1988 Beretta. Five recalls sit on the federal record. One is a restraint problem: the front shoulder belt retractors can lose lock-up sensitivity and fail to catch in a hard stop, leaving the occupant held by the lap belt alone. Two more repeat the hood story, a bent secondary latch that stops the primary from engaging fully so the hood can rise into the windshield. Another covers a door hinge that can fracture and weaken the side structure. Owners logged 89 complaints, led by structure at 15 with electrical and steering at 10 each.
