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.

Fitment on this one is narrow by design: the 2008 Toyota Avalon service and repair manual was written around the car as Toyota actually built it that year, down to the 3.5L V6 (2GRFE) and the trim lines it was offered in, so the specifications and service sequences you work to are this Avalon's own rather than figures approximated from a nearby year.

Known issues on the 2008 Avalon. Five recalls sit on the federal record for this model year. Two of them are filed under vehicle speed control, accelerator pedal: under the first, the accelerator pedal may become hard to depress or slow to return to idle; under the second, a stuck open accelerator pedal may result in very high vehicle speeds and make it difficult to stop. Two more are labeling recalls from regional distributors, covering vehicles that fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 110, "Tire Selection and Rims." The Southeast Toyota campaign cites the consequence that a driver may overload a vehicle, which may increase the risk of a crash; the Gulf States Toyota campaign cites only that this does not meet the standard requirements. The fifth covers the front seat heater, where a damaged copper strand heating element may short circuit, increasing the risk of a fire. Owners have filed 417 complaints for the year and Toyota has issued 152 technical service bulletins.

Whether the job is a pedal assembly that no longer returns cleanly, a seat heater circuit that has to be traced before it is trusted, or a routine 3.5L service interval, it keeps you on Toyota's own procedure and this 2008 Avalon's own numbers.
