Service Manuals

[mulepackin]

Do any of you have a good source for factory service manuals, other than direct from the dealer. I have found some on Ebay, and a few websites dedicated to specific veh. or machines (motorcycles, atvs, etc.). Just wondering if there are any great gold mine sites out there for these.

Depending on the make, model and age of the car, you can get them directly from Helm, Inc. They publish the factory manuals for GM, Ford, Honda and some other foreign brands.

I've had excellent luck buying manuals for all my cars on eBay at very reasonable prices. I have complete sets of factory manuals for all four cars: 93 Mustang, 96 Cobra, 96 Bronco and 04 Crown Victoria. The CV manuals didn't look like they'd ever been opened and I got them for less than half of what Helm wants.

That said, www.books4cars.com is a good source for a lot of manuals.
