Online Repair Manual Reviews: RepairManual.com

Let’s get down to business as we start this new year. Back in December, we promised to bring you more news, information and reviews about the various online repair manuals available to the vehicle enthusiast and DIY mechanic. Our first review of the year is of repairmanual.com, a site that aggregates a bunch of online repair manuals that you can order.


It’s actually more of a searchable database rather than a single online repair manual service. For example, if you go to the menus, you can select the automobiles link and you’ll be directed to an alphabetical list of vehicle makes. Clicking a car manufacturer link will then lead you to a list of that manufacturer’s models. Clicking a model finally gets you to a list of different online repair manuals that you can purchase for that particular model.


It’s a pretty good listing, actually. Most vehicle makes and models are covered, and there are options from a number of online car repair manual service providers. Some model years even go as far back as the 60s, so you can find even some rare stuff and books that are hard to find. You can clearly see that there is an effort to make the collection as comprehensive as it can be.


What the site could use is a bit more description about the manuals on the results page, so viewers won’t have to make another click just to access the summaries. Another thing is that the website doesn’t really do anything to look like a modern e-commerce website. It looks like one of those sites built during the Geocities days of the Internet. Even then, the entire effort is solid and you get what you need out of the site. After all, it’s the content that counts.

If you want a no-frills and hassle-free way to order a online repair manual for your ride, check out RepairManual.com and see if they list what you need. Whether you’re looking for manuals about cars, vans, ATVs, bikes and even snowmobiles, this is one of the best places to check first.
