Looks like an incomplete random collection of service manual pages with technical service bulletins mixed in, all in random order. This is nothing like what their site advertises.

I see that key engine, transmission, brake and suspension sections are extremely incomplete or completely missing.

Very disappointing.

I will dispute this with my credit card, and I will lodge a complaint with the various authorities, and I am going to show this to my attorneys, they are going to have fun with these goons.

The manual seems to be complete and was easy to download. The pages are images, however, and not searchable.

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.

I didn’t realize I would have a link in an email to click to get another email with another link to download.

This factory service and repair manual for the 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV covers a four-door hatchback driven entirely by its battery and electric motor, in Base, LT and Premier trim. Everything a technician would expect to find under an engine heading is here in another form: high-voltage isolation and re-energizing steps, battery pack and module service, drive unit removal, charging system tests and coolant loops for the pack and the drive components, with the brake, steering, suspension, restraint and body work documented in the usual way.

Engines covered

  • Battery-electric drive (EV)

Body styles covered

  • 4-door hatchback

Trims covered

  • Base
  • LT
  • Premier

Known issues on the 2017 Bolt EV. Four recalls are on the federal record, in two pairs. The first pair covers a high-voltage battery that can catch fire when charged to full or nearly full capacity. The second pair concerns what happens after a crash: the exhaust from a deploying seat belt pretensioner can ignite carpet fibers near the B-pillar and start a fire in the body itself. Owner complaints are unusually few at four, three of them on steering. Battery, restraint and steering procedures are all specified in this manual.
