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

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 is the whole point of this one: the service and repair manual is tied to the 2013 Lexus GS 450h and its 3.5L V6 hybrid (2GR-FXE), so the specifications, torque values and service procedures you work from are the ones Lexus published for this model year and this powertrain, not an approximation borrowed from another GS.

Known issues on the 2013 GS 450h. No recalls are on federal record for the 2013 GS 450h. Owners have still filed 17 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins have been issued. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind the systems those owners raise are here.

From tracing a fault an owner has already reported to a scheduled service on the hybrid drivetrain, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for this exact 2013 GS 450h.

This was an unintended acceleration with non functional braking of a Lexus GS 350. This occured on December 18 around 8:00 AM.

While approaching a lighted intersection, the car suddenly accelerated when the brake pedal was depressed. The brake pedal was stiff and did not work.

I own a 2013 GS350 RWD BASE MODEL. I have been having issues with the steering in this car since it was purchased in 2021 with100k miles. It seems to do great at lower speeds or on curvy roads, but when I drive on interstate going straight at around 70 to 80 mph is where it really becomes noticeable. The vehicle does not want to drive straight for anything. It does not pull in one certain direction; it is literally all over the road. I'd like to note that i have new shocks and upper shock m
