Service Auto Repair: Fix It Yourself With Repair Manuals
Posted by carsandtrucks on Monday, October 15 @ 15:31:08 PDT

Often the most important tool in performing repairs to your vehicle is the repair manual you use to gather diagnostic and repair procedures. There are several tried and true repair manuals that are published in book form. Chilton and Mitchell are probably the best known. But for more timely information use the web. One of my favorites is All Data DYI. This is a web based information provider that many repair shops and dealerships subscribe to. They can provide the do it yourselfer with updated technical service bulletins, recall information, as well as repair and diagnostic information. There is a fee associated with the service but the timeliness and detail of the information is worth the small fee. Also, with recall information being available you may find the repair you are planning on doing yourself would be performed at no charge. Another thing I like about on-line repair manuals is some offer

technical hotlines via email or telephone where you can get real time assistance from a trained anyalst. So before you unlock the tool box to start that first time repair procedure, unlock the web repair manuals. You will find this to save you time and money.
