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.

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.

Built around the 2003 Avalon exactly as Toyota released it, this factory service and repair manual is tied to that year's own engine and trim data — the 3.0L V6 (1MZ-FE) in XL and XLS form — so the clearances, torque sequences and service values it quotes are the ones published for this car, not figures carried over from an adjacent model year that merely looks the same.

Known issues on the 2003 Avalon. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it concerns the steering. Toyota recalled certain model year 2000-2004 Avalon vehicles because improper casting of the steering lock bar meant a minute crack could develop; should the steering lock bar break, the steering wheel would lock. The year also carries 353 owner complaints on the federal record and 62 technical service bulletins from Toyota.

Whether you are inspecting the steering column against that recall, working through a bulletin condition, or simply servicing the V6 at its scheduled interval, it holds you to the OEM procedure and the correct figure for this specific 2003 Avalon.
