What is a service manual download?

A service manual download, or digital repair manual, is an electronically transmitted handbook containing service and repair instructions. Service manuals are written and published by the manufacturer to aid dealership mechanics or company service personnel when servicing the product is required. While a service manual and repair manual are considered one and the same, differences do exist.

Service Manual

As previously mentioned, a service manual is a book of instructions that is published to aid dealership technicians. It is assumed that the manual user is skilled in the art of mechanics and mechanical theory. Therefore, a service manual contains a lot of technical jargon that is meant to be used by professional mechanics and might be too difficult for an average backyard mechanic or person to understand. Regardless of your mechanical knowledge or skill the manual user should never attempt to perform a procedure until they have fully read and understand the task at hand.

Service manuals contain highly detailed illustrations, diagrams and specifications followed by step-by-step instructions based on factory service recommendations, and encourage the use of common or specialized tools to properly service the vehicle. Therefore, any person who performs a procedure using a tool, aftermarket part or directions that are not recommended by the manufacture could potentially cause expensive damage to the vehicle and even render it unsafe for use. That said, not all of the instructions in a service manual are complicated. In fact, a service manual is a wonderful tool that any person can use to better understand their vehicle.

Repair Manual

Repair manuals are 3rd party instruction books that are better suited for your average do-it-yourselfer. Professional mechanics use them too. Repair manuals contain much of the same information as the service manual. The main difference between a service manual and a repair manual is the way service and repair procedures are explained in the book. Repair manuals tend to describe procedures in a way that make something clear so that even a person with basic mechanical knowledge has a better chance at understanding the steps involved to successfully complete a repair job.

The only downside to owning a repair manual over a service manual is, or at least in some cases, they can be somewhat generic. Many aftermarket repair manuals do not contain highly detailed diagrams and illustrations or exploded views. In fact, most of them don’t even list critical specifications. They more or less describe how or why something is done rather than exact procedures for a specific model and year vehicle. Repair manuals are great books for learning the basics of mechanical repair. Repair manuals can also be somewhat expensive.

Conclusion

Which one is better? In my opinion both are great tools to have. Although a repair manual is probably pointless to own if you’re a factory trained mechanic and are already familiar in mechanics.
