AlldataDIY

   If you change vehicles in mid subscription, I'm told, and I quote, "Transfer of subscription from one vehicle to another during the subscription period is possible but addressed on a case by case basis." And again I quote, "So far, it hasn't been a problem transferring subscriptions to another vehicle and we've been very accommodating with those special cases." Will Chilton's or Haynes let you trade in your Buick service manual for a Ford service manual? It also has the advantage over printed material in that it the information is updated regularly.

   I have noticed a couple of flaws, however. A lot of times it is assumed that a person knows how to do a specific task. So a total novice may have a problem understanding some of the information as presented. The second flaw is information in the area of Body and Frame is kind of slim. I believe that there is enough for it to be worthwhile to most but details for full body repair are not covered.

   The price is $24.95 for one year and $14.95 to renew. You can add a second vehicle to your account for an additional $14.95 per year. If you use AlldataDIY to make one repair, it will have more than paid for itself. There is a demo you can use to see what it's like before you purchase it.

I have been using Alldata for several years and have found it to be the most accurate, reliable and up-to-date source of information for automotive repair and service I have ever seen. I highly recommend it.
