I am disappointed that the service doesn’t include use of repair manuals… which is why I bought the service. I wanted to see all the parts, which is something that I can see when I search them anyways... See more

It was very easy to find exact products I needed with little effort. The product I selected included additional tools and resources that other services couldn’t provide or offer without additional cost.

Great Product
I purchased this for my 2025 Nissan Sentra and it has come in handy. I would say it could use some more refinement in terms of how information is presented but overall, it works great and I haven't had any issues finding specific data.

2009 Chevy Malibu
Overall I am satisfied with the repair manual information available for my 2009 Chevy Malibu. It has tons of information available about my vehicle. The service procedures section did leave much to be desired for the diyer though. It is very vague and is not a step by step procedure guide. There is also room for improvement in the parts diagram section. The pictures are very grainy and sometimes difficult to see exactly what they are showing. Overall, I think it is worth the money, but I do wish the procedure guide was more of a step by step process and that the pictures and diagrams were clearer.

Hello, thank you for this message and detailed feedback. While our coverage for most vehicles is very good, it sounds like there were some details lacking in your manual.

Even though you're satisfied with your manual overall, we'd love the opportunity to resolve this for you. Please contact us at support@repairsurge.com and mention the issue, and we'll be glad to look into this further! Thank you.

Total scam--don't fall for it
Total scam--don't fall for it. "Manuals" contain no repair procedures for vehicle I requested. They cancel subscription but don't refund unless you hound them. Most info you can find on Web for free.

Hello, thank you for this feedback. Based on the name you provided to Trustpilot, we couldn't find a purchase record, or anything in our support messages. Is it possible that you've mistaken us for another company? If not, please allow us to address your concerns! What you described is definitely not typical of our manuals, and not the experience we want for our users. Our coverage for most vehicles is very good. In rare cases there can be issues, and when that happens we take responsibility and make it right for the customer. That includes a full refund if needed. We've been an officially licensed provider of factory-approved repair information for many years, with many happy customers. If you contacted our support team and didn't get the resolution you needed, then we're truly sorry. We'd appreciate a chance to rectify that! Please reach out again to support@repairsurge.com and mention this. We'll get it taken care of ASAP! Thank you and we hope to hear from you soon.

Thanks for the review! Because our manuals are based on the original factory service materials, you get a lot of helpful illustrations and diagrams. We hope you continue to enjoy the manual. Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance!
Not what I expected
Not what I expected. The ad mentioned wiring diagrams, and none are available. I should have able to see wiring diagrams showing wire modules, wire colors, connections, locations.

Manual is of very limited use
Manual is of very limited use. Case in point. Vehicle throws a DTC B10AD-96. Search Repair Surge and get nothing. Get rid of the -96 still nothing. Google DTC get Rain Sensor issue. Search Repair Surge for Rain Sensor info. Get a tiny graphic that is linked from MANY other pages with a picture of all the sensors on the front of the vehicle. Try finding the component in the wiring diagrams, Nada. If this was an isolated problem it would be fine but it has occured with many queries into the manual. Some things are referenced with old boiler plate explainations and graphics that again ere useless. Google may take a bit longer but the info is there and it did not cost me $40+ [cdn].

Excellent repair manual for your car.
I recently used the RepairSurge website and had a very positive experience. The site is well organized and easy to navigate, which made it simple to find the repair information I needed for my vehicle. The step-by-step instructions were clear, detailed, and easy to follow, even for someone who isn’t a professional mechanic.
What I appreciated most was how comprehensive the repair guides are. They include helpful diagrams, accurate procedures, and useful tips that make the repair process much smoother. Instead of searching through multiple forums or watching several videos, everything I needed was in one place.
Overall, RepairSurge is a reliable and convenient resource for anyone looking to perform vehicle repairs or maintenance. It saves time, provides trustworthy information, and makes DIY repairs much more approachable. I would definitely recommend it to others who want a dependable online repair manual.

This is one of the better online repair manuals. I believe that most problems DIYers are looking to resolve is electrical problems. If possible the wiring schematic should be dumbed down. Please create a mobile app.

Information available varies.
What parts I found in my specific manual were detailed, however it did not contain the exact information I was looking for. As I only had one manual, I could not say if this was the case for all manuals.
