“Worth the price”

Highly impressed with the clarity of diagrams and how everything is explained using flowcharts. A must have if you wish to take good care of your Cummins C series.

Top Critical Review

“Bad business practices 0 stars if it was an option”

I do take partial responsibility for my ignorance of file formats. However, I bought a manual seeing that I could view on iOS (I use an iPhone) it is apparently not compatible and I do not own a computer. The refusal to refund for a product I can't use is an awful way to treat customers. They should make customers aware that you cannot view these products on a phone.

This Mercedes Benz repair manual is a comprehensive guide. It covers every aspect of maintenance and repair. What I liked the most was Diagrams which are very helpful in understanding the location of a particular component and how to access it without breaking any thing. A bit pricey but does the job efficiently.

Hi Adam, I'm sorry to hear about your issues. Please provide me with your Order ID or ticket number so I can address this matter promptly.

Additionally, our software products come with detailed information regarding file formats, size, and compatibility requirements. If a refund was declined, it's likely because the digital products were downloaded offline. However, I'm more than willing to investigate further to ensure a satisfactory resolution.

Looking forward to your response.

Ever since I got my hands on this manual, my repair expenses have dropped significantly. I fix everything in my own driveway, and while I commit many mistakes, this manual helps me learn and save a lot of money at the same time. It's better then asking questions online and getting confused.

Just a mish mash of generic pictures of unrelated vehicle components. No useful information to be found such as torque specifications or vehicle specific service information and procedures.

If you are looking for a service manual, look elsewhere. Don't waste your money here.

The first manual their website provided was incorrect. Contacted customer service to resolve immediately. Contact with customer service was first initiated on 01/04/2021. A resolution wasn't provided until 01/10/2021 after numerous emails. Final solution was exactly what I was looking for. Customer service rep stated they were having system wide technical issues and that's what delayed their response times.

While the occasion when the sought information was needed has passed, there have been numerous exchanges with the seller. Security is a reasonable concern. The seller, however, insists failed access to the product is my fault for not circumventing the security.
While offering help, they now demand I send VIN identification numbers and more. When trust is the problem, such demands seem intended to aggravate, making the requested refund, for services not received, as more trouble that it is worth.
The primary issue for me is: I purchased access to online information. My payment was accepted, but, following their instructions, I was not able to access the information I needed. How much is information, offered after it is not needed, worth? Would you have noticed the download had a file type of ".ova", and known you were to create a virtual-machine, not a browser link?

Tried this manual after a friend suggested this website. Prices here are very competitive and download was done within minutes. Good tier manual if you ask me. Better than all those Haynes crap; it is straight to the point, zero bull$#*!, and incredibly helpful. A must have for my fellow DIYers.

Language used is is very easy to understand so that's also a plus point. Would benefit both professionals and newbies alike. Highly recommended manual for DIY and home mechanics.

I had initially got a PDF of a manual that made no sense and was disorganized. After helping me out, and making download a big program, it then made more sense what I was looking at. Wish I didn't have to download a large program, and not deal with error codes I had to work through on the computer, but all in all they were really helpful, just wish the manual was cleaner in the PDF version.

Hi Samir - Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm sorry the PDF didn't meet your expectations, but I can assure you the software-driven manual is in great detail, and no PDF manual on the market contains that level of information. Also to further add we will be moving away from the huge downloads, as all manuals in 6-8 weeks will not be available online. Which mean you can use any device (PC, Tablet, Smartphone) to access your manual online. Hope this helps in the future.

The best manual on the Kawasaki Mule I have seen so far. Has all the information in one place so it helps. Earlier I used to spend hours online looking for a fix which wasn't there on other manuals. This manual saved me a lot of time. I'm definitely going to give 5 stars and recommend this particular manual.

Company has 4 years of complaints with the BBB. It is NOT residing in suite 600 in the office building in Wilmington Delaware...(see transaction address)It works from outside the USA... and NEVER answers the phone directly and does not show last names on their emails. 100 % scam... I've contacted The Delaware Attorney General Office. Fraud& Consumer Protection Division as well as authorities in the USA and Canada.

Tip for consumers:
Do NOT order ANYTHING from this company ...read all the negative reviews at the BBB as well as elsewhere.

none...because I cancelled the first day of the transaction and requested a refund of which I never received.

Hi again Victor,

Thanks for contacting us through Sitejabber.

Clearly, you weren’t happy with my response to you. To address the points, you have made here:

- You never purchased with us. All the information has already been provided to you; however, I have added the response to the bottom of this response again!
- The transaction ID provided by customer support, asking you to confirm, does not belong to you, as the evidence you have provided is for PayPal, and this transaction ID is for Google Pay.
- You provided us with the last 4 of your card to see if we can locate a transaction but we have found none.
- Regarding our registered office, it is ONLY a REGISTERED OFFICE. We do not physically operate out of there, like millions of businesses in the world, we do have other registered offices around the world. Not sure why this comes as a surprise to you.
- Yes, by Law, we have to have a registered office number, but we don’t use this number to communicate with our customers – it’s for official use only. Over the years, eManualOnline has adapted to digital demands, and we've moved away from a telephony system. However, that doesn't mean we can't support you. Other than conventional email, we also offer remote access support.
- We are not a scamming company. We have been operating for over a decade, providing a valuable service to millions of DIY enthusiasts. We admit we get things wrong sometimes, just like all businesses, but that doesn’t make us scam.
- Our understanding is that there is no legal obligation to provide a surname to a customer, but we always provide our real first name. This is very helpful when communicating with customers like YOU trying to search us and spam our personal space, and god knows what other weird and freaky things you may try to do.

As explained in my email yesterday, you have not provided any information which we can confirm you have made a purchase with us. Our customer relations and customer support team have extensively investigated your claims, but we could not find any information on your purchase. If we did have an Order ID, or PayPal Transaction ID we would happily refund, but we don’t, so how are we supposed to issue a refund or support you with your order? Hence why we have advised raising a dispute or a chargeback claim through PayPal or your bank.

Email sent you yesterday:
--------------------------------------
Thanks for your patience whilst your case 00483735 was escalated to Customer Relations for further investigation.

My name is Jon from the Customer Relations department, whom you mentioned in your previous communication with our customer support team, and Yes, I deal with all complaints that come via BBB.

Thank you for providing the initial screenshots, as they've been very helpful.
• I do not believe you have purchased through emanualonline.com as the transaction on your screenshot displays as emanuals.
• Should you have purchased through us then the transaction name would be under WManuals NOT emanuals.
• Should you have purchased through us then you would have immediately received an email confirmation from PayPal with the subject: You've sent a payment of $26.99 CAD to WManuals (support@emanualonline.com)
• The PayPal Receipt would have your order number which begins with EMAN as well as Transaction ID - If you have an order ID or PayPal Transaction ID please do share that with us.
• We have no orders registered under victoryork@sympatico.ca or victoryork1818@gmail.com. If you have paid through PayPal then the email address registered to PayPal is what would be used to set up your transaction and order.
• Furthermore, our 1987 Mercedes 420 SEL Service Repair manual does not cost $26.99 CAD. We sell this particular service and repair manual for $32.99 CAD. Please check this product link, and feel free to search our website as well. https://www.emanualonline.com/cars/mercedes/w126/1987-mercedes-420sel-service-repair-manual-87-emo-68260.html)
• I have manually checked all transactions on PayPal between the 25th - 29th of October and cannot find a transaction related to you or your information - unless you can provide an order ID which starts with EMAN or PayPal Transaction ID?

Given the information I have provided from my investigation I do not believe you have made a purchase with us. We may be wrong, given the limited information provided. However, the only thing I can suggest right now is to raise a dispute through PayPal, and if this order was made with us, then we will get a notification immediately, and we can take it from there.

Once you have raised a dispute, please let us know, so I can further look into this. I'm sorry I can't be able any further help right now.

I was having some starting issues now and them. My uncle suggested to install new plugs and also recommended this manual. Changed the spark plug on my Mini, took me roughly about 15-20 mins, and that too as someone who is looking at the car's components for the first time. This manual is a major step up if you wish to do your own repairs.

Hi, I was looking to overhaul brakes and AC. I've a little DIY experience and often to minor tasks by myself but electrical components are a different ball game for me. After a bit of online searching found this manual. Preview showed that it deals with both of my issues but I wanted to be sure. The guy I chatted was nice, polite and assured me that manual have in depth coverage It took me some time but in last I was able to complete the tasks. I'm happy with my purchase.

The manual I ordered claimed to be a complete shop service manual for a 2010-2012 Cadillac SRX. What I received did not contain any electrical diagrams and did not make reference to the 2012 year model. The company offered to allow me to download some software to obtain the requested material. After leaning that their business address in Wilmington, Delaware is actually phony and is the address of the city chamber of commerce, and reading many negative reviews, I don't want to download any software from them. I have not been able to benefit from the manual that I paid for, so I would like a refund of my $32.00.

The dealership was quoting some stupidly expensive prices for a simple window regulator replacement. So I opened this manual, and searched online for the part which costs almost 10x less than what the dealership was asking. Followed the instruction and did the replacement without a hassle. Really happy with my purchase.
