Best Place to Find Reliable Car Repair Manuals?

[centurian]

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on doing more of my car maintenance and repairs lately, but I’m struggling to find good repair manuals that are detailed and reliable.

Some online PDFs seem incomplete or outdated, and others require subscriptions.

I’m wondering where most of you go for accurate manuals that cover both common fixes and more complex jobs.

Do you stick with official manufacturer manuals, Haynes/Chilton, or is there a better online resource?

Also, do you prefer digital or printed versions when working in the garage? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Also, do you prefer digital or printed versions when working in the garage of Mercedes? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

thanks in advance for any help

There is a vendor who frequents the Pomona Swap Meet who deals in all sorts of automotive manuals, repair manuals, owner's manuals, etc,
If they still have any, can also try Helm.com for some factory manuals.
Can also try Aerobooks in Burbank (?) although that's a little outside their normal.
