Anyone know anything about software programs that mechanics use to help the repair cars...Someone told me there are software suites out there that have all your cars systems and info diagrams schemactics everything!!!!I dont know if its true I am just tossing it out there>>>If its true can you telll me whats up !!!!!

The Phoenix library has Mitchell's and Alldata available in the library. Some community colleges (auto vocational oriented) have it and may let you use it.

Very expensive for home use.

you could check out(http://www.autorepairboss.com).

Why don't you just buy a service manual?

I got the haynes, but it just dont cut it!

I use Mitchell On Demand.

Get a factory one. You can get them cheap on ebay a lot.

I think he's looking for repair info not office type software.

Are either Alldata or Mitchell's a match for the factory service manuals?

I had a chance to play with Mitchell few years back. It has a list of all the TSBs for a given car but the quality of repair information is very poor compared to the HELM Factory Service Manual f ro the same car. Nothing beats "the real thing".

I don't think I'd call the Mitchell On Demand software "poor". While I do think the "factory" manual is better, the Mitchell software is still very good. I've used it for years and in most cases, it's as accurate as factory manuals. It just lacks some of the model-specific info that the factory manual has.

AllData is a Factory Match
