Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry the manual you received didn't include the illustrations or diagrams you were expecting. While our coverage is extensive for most vehicles, there are rare instances where specific visual content may be missing for a particular model. If you haven't already, please reach out to our support team so we can review your case and issue a refund if needed. We appreciate the opportunity to make this right.

Don't waste your money
Don't waste your money. This site does NOT have any diagrams or instructions even on a simple ATF oil change.

Hello, thank you for your feedback. We're very sorry the information you needed was missing from your manual. While our coverage is strong for the vast majority of vehicles, there are rare cases where specific procedures or diagrams may be unavailable for certain models. That’s never the experience we want for our customers. If you haven’t already, please contact our support team so we can investigate and provide a resolution, including a full refund if necessary. We appreciate the opportunity to make this right.

No useful information proveded
The information provided is extremely limited. No actual repair procedures are given. No step by step description as would be found in a real repair manual.This service is a waste of money and basically useless.

I should’ve read some of these reviews…
I should’ve read some of these reviews before I went to this place. I accidentally put my email address in wrong so now nothing will work. They don’t even have a legitimate registration process because if they did, I would’ve seen that I put the wrong email address in. I figured for $30. What the hell I’ll take a chance. well I’m out $30. Their support looks legit and you get a confirmation email but nobody does anything. all they need to do is change my email address so I can access what I paid for and I can’t. I needed the manual today because I’m took off from work to work on my car today so kind of useless for me after this. I can’t speak to the quality of whatever documentation that they have because I can’t even get to it. It looks like they’re quick to answer people on these reviews, but they’re not quick to help get you onto their site. they sure got the money out of my bank account quick enough

Hello, thank you for this message. After going through our support system, we were able to locate your ticket. We're truly sorry that you didn't receive the timely response you deserved. We've investigated the situation, sent you a response, and after some discussion we issued a full refund. As you mentioned, the issue was an incorrect email during the signup process. While we don't have a way to tell if your email is correct before the email verification takes place, we failed to fix it quickly like we should have. We take full responsibility for that. At this point, the issue appears to be resolved. Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance. Thank you.

2015 Smart Car Manual
The smart car manual had only a little bit of information, not more than the owners manual pretty much.
There was no engine brake transmission information to rebuild at all. It was very disappointing. The 1-800-416-8217 is not in service. I’m hoping for a refund of my $29.00 for 1 year.

I thought it was a total waste of money. The repair procedures were very rudimentary. The illustrations were practically worthless.

This is a scam and ripoff
This is a scam and ripoff . They took my money and ran, I was never able to login in to use the info I contacted then numerous times and I have revived bot emails back saying they will look into to it but I have yet to hear back . “DO NOT PAY FOR THIS PRODUCT “ It’s a ripoff and I am going to make it my job to inform as many people as possible that they are a ripoff with over 150,000 social media followers ...
