Great work from great people

The dedication of these people is unrivalled. Due to hardware issues with my laptop, remote installation was not straightforward by any means but they stuck with it, found a solution and implemented that solution. All for the same cost as a straightforward installation. I couldn't be happier with the service I've received, nothing short of brilliant.

false claims on website

On their website it is shown as "official OEM PDF and software workshop manuals"
I paid 19NZD for a workshop manual, what we received is an email with a VIDA zip folder to download. It created a virtual hard-drive on our computer and then dowloaded a weird ancient program, that is very cumbersome to use. No clear menu structure, no forward or back buttons, a real pain. What is worse, that most of the real instructions are missing. It is by far not the whole workshop manual, only a few pages out of it, uploaded to some ancient, really not user-friendly program. Asked for help, got turned away very rudely, stating, that only SOME of their workshop manuals come as PDFs. Not recommended at all, the few pages I can access through this horrible program could be downloaded elsewhere for free. If you are after proper workshop manual, where all processes with all the steps and components are exactly shown and described - DO NOT BUY into this scam.

We have replied to your email, you didn't buy a PDF, you purchased the software package / VM image. The site is clear what manuals are PDF and what ones are software. I did however send you an electrical manual for your car that I was able to locate. We will continue to reach out to our vendors and see what else we might be able to locate for you.

Great manual and incredible help.

The files downloaded quickly and the instructions for setting up the manual were clear. Unfortunately, I had a problem unzipping the files but when I emailed David about the problem and sent him a screenshot of the download, he immediately emailed back (at the week-end) telling me that I had to remove the file download number in brackets which my computer had added. Once I did this, everything worked perfectly and the programme is just what I needed.
I cannot fault the manual nor the help I was given and the speed at which I received it. Thank you, David.

PERFECT service. So happy with it.

Thank you very much, works fine.
I installed the manual on an external SSD.
Even after several months, I got help to recover the broken download.
All that within one day. PERFECT service.
Citation: "You don't need to pay again." So happy with it.

Wrong Manual

Like many other reviewers, I paid for a service manual for one car, a Citroen C1, but was sent 3 other manuals instead, one for a Peugeot 108, one for a Peugeot 308 and one for a Volkswagen Polo!

I say 'manuals' but they are really just zipped folders of assorted PDF files with no index, and far from complete.

EDIT received a full refund from the seller

Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with your Citroen C1 service manual purchase. We understand your frustration and regret that the manuals provided did not meet your expectations.

We have already processed your refund in full. Unfortunately, the specific manual for the Citroen C1 was not a good fit, and we are sorry for any confusion caused. We have reached out to our vendors to locate a more accurate manual for this model. Should we find a suitable replacement, we will send it to you at no additional cost.

We appreciate your patience and understanding. If you have any further questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
All the best,
David

Communication and customer service impeccable!

In the beginning I had issues with starting the manual’s image because of my faulty OS, but David was there helping me when I needed it. He answered my email instantly and helped me in weekend days when other people normally were resting. The manual I got is what I need. The investment worth every penny. Thank you David,again.
Customerservice gets max+ from me!

Great customer service and an all around great company!!

Initially I was extremely irritated with everything but then I talked to David and he went above and beyond to help me get everything setup on my computer. It took a few days because of the time difference being 8 hours but he was even willing to work late to make sure it was good and that I understood everything. This company is amazing but if you do run into issues just ask. They will totally help.

Basic I.T knowledge needed but help if needed.

Briefly, the process of downloading and installing the program on my laptop was straightforward. I had a couple of questions that were promptly answered in a chat room and all-in-all a good experience and worth £9-ish.
