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.

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.

Fitment on this one is exact: the 1997 Toyota Avalon factory service and repair manual covers the car as Toyota built it that year, with the 3.0L V6 (1MZ-FE) and XL or XLS equipment, so the specifications and repair sequences it gives are the ones Toyota published for your Avalon rather than close figures carried over from an adjacent model year.

Known issues on the 1997 Avalon. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it is a narrow one. It covers the hydraulic power brake assist, where the fault can result in the elimination of vacuum assist to the brakes. The campaign applied to cars originally sold or currently registered in a specific group of states, including Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska and Nevada. Owners have logged 155 complaints for the year, and Toyota has issued 38 technical service bulletins.

If the pedal on your Avalon has gone hard or the assist feels inconsistent, the brake and vacuum assist diagnostics run on Toyota's own test values and torque figures instead of generic ones, and the same holds for the routine service work the V6 wants at this age.
