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.

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.

Item as described quick delivery

This 1989 Nissan Maxima factory service and repair manual is built around this exact year and trim, so the specifications and repair sequences inside are the ones Nissan published for your car, not a generic stand-in from another model year.

Engines covered

  • 3.0L V6 (181 cu in) — SOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door sedan

Trims covered

  • GXE
  • SE

Known issues on the 1989 Maxima. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year. Three cover aftermarket combination corner, bumper, and headlamp assemblies sold for the Maxima that lack the required amber side reflectors, a shortfall that can decrease lighting visibility and result in a crash. The fourth recall covers the fuel filler pipe, where trapped mud and salt can corrode the fuel filler tube and the wheel housing, risking a fuel leak near an ignition source, and since the left rear seat belt retractor mounts to that same wheel housing, a retractor mounting failure in a crash. Owners have filed 68 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From verifying aftermarket lighting equipment to inspecting the fuel filler tube and wheel housing for corrosion, it keeps you on the OEM procedure for your specific 1989 Maxima.
