Total Scam

Total Scam. I paid for 2017-22 BMW 5 series and got 93-95 3 series. They won't respond to emails. They should be shutdown and fined.

Well who’d have thought

I searched forever looking for a manual for my car and found these people. Purchase and payment was as expected, faultless, however, the manual was supposed to be a pdf but turned out to web based and doesn’t event work, on any platform or browser. No communications are answered so there is nowhere else to go. Avoid these worthless charlatans at all cost and save yourself time and money. It’s a shame you can’t select a 0 rating because that all these muppets are worth.

Update 20th January 2023.

I got contacted by the company as a result of trustpilot and they did offer some help, one was a regurgitation of the old help and one was a Spanish language video. The product is still worthless and you should still avoid them at all costs, however, they did offer a refund and it actually arrived…..so trustpilot to the rescue.

Im so sorry to hear that the workshop manual didnt work for you.. Contact dwsm145@gmail.com with your order number and the issue you running into and we will do our best to help or refund. Not all manuals are PDF some are full featured software like the pros use, so its a little more complicated. If we have a PDF for that car we will surely get it to you. Thanks for your business and time.

Issues with the download

I could not get the product to work but have been getting good support from Workshopmanual. Unfortunately, my limited IT experience hasn’t made this easy for support staff. Work in progress.

Total waste of time and money

Total waste of time and money. The Fiat 500 workshop manual turned out to be a few pages of useless information with all important technical data missing. Complete waste of time and money. Order #39384

Thanks for your feedback.
This manual is very large and jammed packed with information. I never seen a support request from you. You should have reached out to support so we could have worked with you. We have many repair shops using this very manual because of its wiring diagrams and detailed information on the engines and body. Our email address is dwsm145@gmail.com We are always striving to improve and provide the best value in our industry.

Workshopmanuals.org is a scam site

Useless. I received 4 links: A manual in 3 parts and an Install Guide. One of the links is broken and give a file not found error. The install guide is an executable that won't work. Customer service is non existent - no one answers email, phone goes straight to voicemail and the webchat is unmanned. I have sent emails, left messages on phone and on webchat but no reply

Great and quick service

Quick to download. Easy payment. But the most important I had problems with the installation/use. I sent an email for help. I got a very quick response with the solution. After that all worked well. And the manual is exact what I needed.

CUSTOMER SERVICE, NOT ONE OF THIS COMPANIES VIRTUES

I ordered a manual. They sent me a manual with zip7 & Oracle which I had never used before. I sent them an email explaining my issues and that I required help. Tech got back to me a day or so later, he said he could send a PDF. Never heard back for about 5 days. I enquired again, the same tech asked me to check my junk email. I checked for a document and advised him I received nothing. He asked for my order number again and then replied by telling me off stating that I received “Elsawin,” downloaded it, did not order a PDF, and told me I was using a different email than that of the one I made my purchase on. Oh, and that I had just wasted his time. To date I have not received a reply to my last email, and I will not get a reply. It took less than a minute for them to take my cash, and to be fair they did send me a file (which I was unable to utilize) and when I asked I for assistance, they ignored me. At no time was it explained to me that I could have purchased a PDF file. They obviously do not know the meaning of “customer service.” I will in future deal with a company in the USA!

Non-existent customer service

Having paid the £9.99 to download a manual I got instructions about getting 7zip unzipping software, extracting 30 files in 3 folders and then using Windows Virtualbox software followed by more instructions including "Click on the created Elsawin from the left side Click on Settings, System, Processor, Click to tick the box to Enable
PAE/NX, OK".

Unfortunately I use Linux software so this wouldn't work. I sent a message straight away asking for a refund, but that was a few days ago and I've heard nothing.

This has been a complete waste of time and money.

Renault Trafic workshop manual

Ten days ago I bought Renault Trafic workshop manual advertised as below:

Renault Trafic Workshop Repair Manual Download

The same Renault Trafic Workshop Manual used by Renault main dealerships and garages, independent garages and mechanics Worldwide.

Covers years: 1980 to 2021

It was only after I had paid for it and downloaded it that I could see it only covered vans from 2001-2014. I emailed them asking for the correct manual (my van is 2000) but they didn't reply, acknowledge my concern or offer a refund.

Really bad customer service and I won't use them again.

I bought Audi A5 manual.

I bought Audi A5 manual.

I am very unsatisfied with a purchase I made. No information were provided that it will take 5 hours, to download, to install it. No info That it'll need 70 GB of free disk and that I will be forced to use virtual machine to use this manual. I hate using VM's.

I will never deal with this company again.

FRAUD

FRAUD. They provided a link to 32 GigaBytes of rar files. I bought a repair manual for a single mercedes model. Obviously the download link expired before I even had the necessary time to download it.
