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.

Every figure in this factory service and repair manual was published by Toyota for the 2012 Avalon as it was actually built that year, down to the 3.5L V6 (2GR-FE) and the trim your car left the line in, so the torque values, clearances and step order you work to belong to this car rather than to a neighboring model year that merely looks the same.

Known issues on the 2012 Avalon. Three recalls stand on the federal record for this model year, and all three touch the air bag system. The first is filed against the air bags and covers cars whose seat belt inner buckles may have been replaced during a vehicle repair; if a seat belt is falsely interpreted as being buckled, air bag behavior in the event of a crash is affected. The second is filed against the electrical system: the drain hose for the air conditioning condenser may become clogged, and a short circuit may cause the air bags to become disabled or inadvertently deploy. The third is filed against the air bag and restraint control module, where air bags and/or seat belt pretensioners may not deploy as intended in the event of a crash. Owners have filed 35 complaints against the 2012 Avalon, and Toyota has issued 156 technical service bulletins for it.

From tracing a short in the restraint circuits to clearing a blocked condenser drain or working a scheduled service on the 3.5L V6, this manual keeps you on Toyota's own procedure and the specifications written for this 2012 Avalon.
