I totally concurr with all the previous negative reviews. Haynes Autofix really is disgraceful it brings shame to previously well respected Company. To save their reputation they should reimburse all the disgruntled customers, and withdraw the product.

Rip off and a scam

Autofix is absolute rubbish, DO NOT waste your time. 90% is generic guidance for all vehicles. 10% is supposedly specific to my vehicle although doesn’t appear accurate. Such a disappointment from such a previously trusted source of information. Generic videos and guidance for all vehicles, which is borderline unsafe - what if I followed the vague guide for a light vehicle with my 3.5T vehicle? I purchased the manual for a Citroen Relay van, and spent some time talking to customer services about exactly which engine model etc to “make sure I have the correct manual”. Utterly pointless endeavour because it’s all generic advice anyway.

Purchased a manual for Audi A6 C8 model at £28 ..... absolute garbage!!! I would like my money back. Haynes manuals of old were the 'goto' publication but this ...... lost for words.

I bought the Autofix manual for my car. I was very disappointed at the small amount of car-specific data and how useless it was! Also some of the drawings were from some other car, not the one I have. Drawings did not have any parts named, only torques. There was no instructions at all, only for the engine part. Waste of money, do not buy! Update: I did get an answer from Haynes customer service and got my money back, so thank you Holly!

If John Harold Haynes saw the garbage I just wasted £28 on he'd be spinning in his Grave. A Haynes manual used to be a very useful resource for owners and mechanics, but what I just foolishly bought is an insult and a disgrace to his legacy. A Haynes manual used to be written based on first hand experience by professionals, what they offer in the online garbage is copy/paste generalisations with few or no actual pictures of the vehicle or its components its based on! Ok I'm a trusting fool, I didn't read the small print which says once I access it ( I had to, to evaluate it right?) i am ineligible to claim a refund. Oh very clever, but it cuts two ways, I'm logging all the ways it fails as I go and will go online and warn others and go into minute detail to describe the many ways its a worthless imitation of what a Haynes manual used to be.

I always bought a Haynes repair manual for any car I had, and with great satisfaction. Now I couldn't get one for my new 5year old car, and out of demand I signed up for the Autofix. Man did I get disappointed. My current problem is not covered, well, the parts in trouble are not described. There are very few photos, and I watched one of the few videos, about changing pollen filter. I have a Peugeot, and it was shown on a Mercedes. In short, useless

I needed a Renault Master MkII workshop manual to service and maintain our newly acquired campervan. They were the first advertised choice and really the only one. I saw that they stopped providing paper manuals and moved on to autofix - online alternative. Would have preferred a physical book to have while traveling but had no choice but to buy the autofix one. WHAT A MISTAKE Immediately they promise DIY videos with Engine specifications, torque specs, fault finding and much more. 14 day return UNLESS you open the manual. I have loads of work to do (CV boots, steering rack, injectors, glow plugs and more) Looking for injector torque specs? not found, injector crush washer size - not found, location? - here is a DIY injector video from a MERCEDES Need to do timing belt? good luck figure out yourself. Half the information they provide is general info that may or may not apply to your vehicle (info on drum brakes, Van comes ONLY with discs) so very quickly you start doubting the info they they provide - Is it for the van or is it just a general cars. Asking for refund no use at all, feel like I've been scammed. Given random DIY videos and specifications that I just don't trust .
