Alldata Reviews

Ford EECV upgrade and reprogrammin

I bought this CD to help me repair my A/C system on my 83 Volvo. What a joke! I want to return it! There is more information in my $4.00 Haynes repair manual.

If it contain ledgeable info. about wire diagram for 1983 Volvo 240 DL it will be great.

I purchased this CD for my 1985 Mercedes 300sd. It provided little information on vehicle repair.It had all the service bulletins however.If you want that, then I recommend the cd. However, If you are looking for a REPAIR guide, this CD is not for you.

Simply put, Alldata sucks. I'm an ASE Master Technician. Alldata has given me fits in the past. I won't use it. If you want the best and don't like wasting time, in my experience (10 + yrs.), get Mitchell repair manuals. I just clicked on this site to see why an employer would buy it as mine did...you get what you pay for.

The CD liner congratulates you on purchasing the most comprehensive collection of automotive repair informationavailable today. If you consider a total of 20 lines of information on how to remove a V8 engine comprehensive then you won't be dissapointed. If however you were looking for the one source describing all manner of repair information then you are better spending your money elswhere.

The TSB are usefull even if they are very short and poorly scanned (The pictures look like an old photocopy)

The help desk cuts you off numerous times and if they decide you have been on hold too long they even say goodbye before cutting you off.

My advice is to spend the money on a Chilton or Haynes manual (or any other of your choice). In the past I have complained about Haynes. Never again.

This CD promises to deliver all the information you need to maintain and repair your vehicle. The reality is that the information contained is sadly lacking in content and presentation. Scanned in documents are barely readable and very few system describtions and diagrams are included. Maintenance and repair procedures are lacking or incomplete. This had potential, but fails.
