Completely dissapointed

I’ve always bought printed Haynes Manuals for all my cars and motorcycles and wanted to get one for my 2015 Honda Jazz Mk3. It seems that Haynes would rather concentrate on novelty books on WWII fighter aircraft and tanks whilst relegating their old core market to an online fault code translation service, which seems to leave unfortunate buyers unimpressed. I understand that, relative to the 1970s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s manufacturers are updating their model line-ups more frequently- and electronics faster than that- but there are still a few of us who appreciate help with the mechanical stuff (torque settings etc) in printed book form. Haynes diversification, whilst undoubtedly a commercial lifeline, is frustrating when you can buy a manual for a Tiger tank but not for your everyday transport! I was going to buy the Haynes Autofix online manual in the absence of anything else being available but in light of the reviews above I’ll save my money.

I wish I'd seen these reviews before I wasted $55 on a Captiva "manual" ! There seems to be zero specific info on the vehicle, I kept thinking I must be doing something wrong, but no, it's just ABSOLUTE RUBBISH !!!!! I put in for a refund and if they think they can ignore me, like them seem to be, they're in for a surprise. I still have old paper manuals and they were excellent, what the hell has happened to them ???

What the ???? Haynes used to be THE name to go to for car manuals. This online/autofix incarnation has destroyed any trust whatsoever in the Haynes name as far as I'm concerned. Have had some time to use this online manual now and any job that has cropped up is really lucky if it's covered. Even if it is covered it's nothing more than a cursory overview with pretty much zero useful information. Absoute rubbish. Haynes should be ashamed of themselves for putting these out. If you can get a physical, hardback version for your vehicle then great, otherwise AVOID 'Autofix' and use youtube instead.

Most of the info is generic. Very little specific to my car. Youtube will give me better information than this scam manual.

Complete waste of money. Gives absolutely no useful info on anything

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
