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

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.

This factory service and repair manual for the 2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV is written for one four-door hatchback body, one battery-electric propulsion system and three trims: Base, LT and Premier. Because there is nothing to tune, time or fuel, the diagnostic weight shifts to the high-voltage pack, the drive unit, the charging hardware and the module network that supervises them, and the manual sets out the isolation, measurement and reassembly steps in the order they have to be performed.

Engines covered

  • Battery-electric drive (EV)

Body styles covered

  • 4-door hatchback

Trims covered

  • Base
  • LT
  • Premier

Known issues on the 2020 Bolt EV. Eight recalls stand on the federal record. Three of them concern a high-voltage battery that can catch fire at or near full charge, two of those because the software meant to find defective modules did not install correctly. One covers a poorly cast front left brake caliper that can fracture under hard braking and lose fluid. Another has a seat belt assembly attached with the wrong bolts. Complaints total 172 and lean heavily electrical at 86, with 22 on steering and 11 on the power train.
