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.

Item as described quick delivery

Fitment here is narrow on purpose: this is the 2012 Lexus LS 460L service and repair manual, matched to that exact model year and to your drivetrain, so every specification, torque figure and procedure in it is the one Lexus published for this car rather than a close-enough number borrowed from a neighboring model year or a different LS variant.

Trims

  • AWD
  • RWD

Known issues on the 2012 LS 460L. No recalls are on federal record for the 2012 LS 460L, and Lexus has issued no technical service bulletins for the year. What does exist on this model year is owner-reported: 8 complaints filed for 2012. None of that is campaign work, so what matters is the diagnosis itself, and the test procedures, component specifications and repair steps needed to run a fault down are here.

Chasing one of those eight owner reports or simply working through a service interval, you stay on the OEM procedure and the specification Lexus set for the 2012 LS 460L rather than an approximation of it.

No active recalls The 2012 Lexus LS 460L has no recalls on file with NHTSA.
