They sent the download link 6 hours later after multiple requests in the online chat, by email, and through messenger on their facebook page. Would have preferred if the PDF or link was available... See more

Better than keeping a bulky book in the glovebox

I love having a digital copy of my car manual on my phone. Carmanuals.org has a great search feature that makes finding specific maintenance schedules way faster than flipping through 400 paper pages. The site is clean, no annoying pop-ups, and very easy to navigate.

Finally found the manual for my second-hand car!

I just bought a 2015 Honda Civic that was missing the owner's manual. I didn't want to pay $40 for a physical copy just to find the fuse box diagram. Found it on Carmanuals.org in seconds. The PDF was high quality and completely free to view. Saved me a huge headache!

Found the technical info I couldn't find anywhere else

I was looking for specific wiring diagrams for a 2012 European model that weren't on any of the free forums. CarManuals.org had exactly what I needed. The level of detail in the electrical section is impressive. If you’re doing more than just an oil change, you need the technical depth these manuals provide. 5 stars for the quality of information.

Accurate diagrams saved me a trip to the mechanic

I’m a weekend DIYer and needed the torque specs for a brake job on my Ford F-150. The manual I got from here was perfect—clear diagrams, step-by-step instructions, and most importantly, the exact specs I needed. It’s much more detailed than the basic owner's manual. Saved me hundreds of dollars in labor costs

Excellent support from David!

I had a minor issue where the download link showed an error right after payment. I emailed their support and David got back to me within a few hours with a fresh link and an apology. It’s rare to get that kind of personal service from a digital download site. The manual itself is very detailed and accurate. Definitely worth the price for the peace of mind.

Easiest site to navigate for manuals

Finding the right car manual can be a headache, but carmanuals.org makes it really simple. The website is well-organized and didn't redirect me to a dozen different ads. I found the exact manual for my 2018 Camry in about two minutes. The download was a standard PDF, so I didn’t have to install any weird software to read it. Great experience

Looking for a workshop manual for my Alfa Romeo Giulia 952

I was looking for a workshop manual for my Alfa Giulia Diesel. Paid and downloaded from carmanuals.org.
In the description they say: "All Engine Variants", "High-resolution images", etc.

In fact it is written in Italian (!), the images are of poor quality and my Diesel engine is not mentioned.

No reaction to my email upon this problem. Wasted $ 22 :-(

Manuals Not Worth the Money I paid for a car manual from carmanuals.org, but it was a total waste of money. The manual was incomplete, and the information was outdated. The diagrams were low-quality, and the instructions were unclear. I couldn't find what I needed, and the customer support was unhelpful. Wouldn't recommend this site to anyone.

Poor Customer Experience

Poor Customer Experience*: I ordered a Toyota car manual from carmanuals.org and paid $12.25 via debit card. However, I never received the manual, despite the payment being deducted from my account immediately. The lack of communication and follow-up from the company was disappointing.

On 14th November 2024 I ordered a Toyota car manual from this company on the internet, carmanuals.org. The manual was supposed to be a digital manual to be delivered by email. I paid with my debit card and the amount of $12.25, or £9.93 was taken from my account the same day in payment to 'AUTO TECH PUBLICATI', shown on my bank statement. To date, I have not received any communication from the company at all, they did not acknowledge the order, they do not reply to emails or even to the 'chat' facility on their website.

Till the 5th of December 2024 :

The company did NOT email the pdf to me.

Neither did they send a link to allow me to download it.

They have NOT responded to my emails

I hope I've learned my lesson.

Not a scam site but their delivery system needs to be fixed and simplified

Have ordered a Car Manual, made payment, received an e-mail saying payment has been received but no download link. Tried a live chat on their web site but got no response.
Received a download link 2 hours later.
Could not open the dropbox file initially as it showed it to be a pdf file. It was a zip file instead
Found that I had to download it first, then unzip it.
Finaly have my car workshop manual

Scammy, poor customer service

(Zero star reviews not available)
I ordered a car workshop manual from them, and was immediately presented with a download link. The link just led to a page that said "File not found"

So I asked in the live chat on the website, and when I threatened a chargeback the guy immediately said "Usually orders are fullfilled within few hours of purchase as they are manually uploaded after payment completion."
and then when I threatened a chargeback, reasonably politely given the circumstances,
"However we have made a a habit of not doing bossiness with hostile customers, we have issued you a full refund. Please purchase the manual from elsewhere."
The "service person" declined to offer his name or any identifying information, and claimed not to be operating in the US at all.
Doubtful that they actually possess any service manuals at all.
