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 1989 Chevrolet Cavalier sets out the two gasoline engines offered that year, a naturally aspirated 2.8L overhead-valve V6 of 173 cubic inches and a naturally aspirated 2.0L overhead-valve inline-four of 122 cubic inches, and the four bodies they went into: sedan, coupe, wagon and convertible. Base, RS, VL and Z24 make up the trim range. Each engine gets its own specifications, torque sequences and diagnostic tables, and the chassis, brake and body electrical sections that follow apply across the whole lineup.

Known issues on the 1989 Cavalier. Two recalls are on the federal record, and both are about gasoline finding its way out. In one, small creases pressed into the underside of the fuel tank crack as the tank cycles between pressure and vacuum in normal use, and the tank begins to seep. In the other, a replacement fuel filter fails to seal properly at its connection. Either leak becomes a fire with an ignition source nearby. Complaints number 63, with 13 on the engine and cooling system, seven on the fuel system and five on steering; tank removal, line routing and fuel pressure testing are all documented here.

NHTSA #88V18900006/12/1988Component: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY

A FUEL TANK LEAK COULD OCCUR DUE TO SMALL CREASES ON THE TANK UNDERSIDE CRACKING DURING PRESSURE CYCLING WHICH OCCURS DURING NORMAL OPERATION.

Consequence

IN PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, THIS CONDITION COULDRESULT IN A FIRE.

Remedy

REPLACE FUEL TANK.
