Automotive Service Repair Manuals, Books & Magazines
Why Service Information Is Essential
Service manuals and repair manuals are an essential requirement for diagnosing and repairing late mode vehicles. This directory includes links to sources for factory service manuals, aftermarket repair manuals, owners manuals, automotive textbooks, automotive magazines (which contain many useful technical and how-to articles, and automotive books and literature.
Buying a service manual or repair manual is an investment in maintaining and repairing your vehicle, just like buying special tools you might need to work on your car or truck. The more information you have, the more likely you are to maintain and repair your vehicle correctly. You need service specifications, torque values for critical fasteners, step-by-step disassembly and repair procedures, fluid capacities, diagnostic charts, recommended maintenance intervals, etc.
Factory service manuals are the best source for this kind of information, and are available for many older vehicles. But in recent years, many car makers have their discontinued paper service manuals. They only offer the information online, and charge an access fee for it.

Aftermarket repair manuals are designed for the do-it-yourselfer rather than professional technicians, but usually do not contain as much detailed information as the factory service manuals. On the other hand, they typically have more photos and step-by-step how-to procedures for common jobs.
