Haynes Repair Manuals Reviews 

Haynes Autofix is a total waste of money. Doesn't document or show anything specific to the vehicle. Gives a load of generic info but nothing specific to the vehicle. Videos and pictures are of completely different vehicles

Absolute Garbage. bought this online manual to help fault finding a brake light problem on my 2007 Honda CRV. It was of no help whatsoever. I typed in Brake lights into the search bar and nothing came up about brake lights, I eventually found a wiring diagram (part of the external lights wiring diagram) that was very hard to follow. The wiring diagram that was suppose to be specific to my model beared little resemblance to the actual wiring on the car. It was so wrong with bits missing, wires going to the wrong place and incorrectly labelled coloured wires.
I emailed Haynes stating the manual was not fit for purpose and should be withdrawn from their website. I eventually managed to get a refund.

Signed up for Ducato manual ages ago. Tried to use it in anger this week. What an absolute waste of time. Not even the basic torque settings. It’s not a manual but a load of mixed up and mostly irrelevant data. Almost like it’s been compiled by a digital company that knows zero about repairing vehicles. Total Total Rip OFF. I’d also say that having your laptop under the van whilst working doesn’t really work either.

Very little information and way, way overpriced. Do yourself a favour and buy the hard copy.
There are far too many missing, yet pretty important topics.
Glad I read these reviews before making another purchase.

Well, let me start by saying: STOP! Don't make the purchase. Now then, I like others, I am sure expected a lighter version of AllData but what you receive is next to bloody useless, not even a complete list of Torque settings to list just one of many things not present, less specific car data to you than if you used YouTube and searched for Telly Tubbies, So if they don't have a traditional manual for your make & model steer well clear. Yes we can use Youtube for lots of guides these days, I know the world has changed but look at it this way, Pro mechanics don't, they use Pro tools and workshop hour programs, so Haynes wording is clever around AutoData and now I know why, sorry keen "DIYers" Please just stop selling it or charge £5 for the effort!!!

I was desperate and thought buying the haynes manual would be the guaranteed source to find where the crankshaft sensor is on my French pos c4 cactus. The manual cant even show me a picture of the engine But the online manual costing £29 tells you things like how to change a battery. No engine diagrams or breakdowns. It's riding on previous decades of reputation which was well earned and just cashed in and provide less information than halfords. The delete account option being with the subscription and other immediate tabs says it all. I also doubt the good reviews for their credibility because Heynes clearly don't do new cars and apparently people love the in depth manuals for their new cars... nope.

I feel that I have been conned out of £27.00. I had assumed that the digital information would be similar to the information contained in the books.How wrong can you be. The information is very scant , very few illustrations and very basic information.Far more help and information can be gained from the internet. I would advise anyone to steer clear of this set-up .Please do not waste your money

Bought a Haynes Autofix for my newly acquiredcar thinking it was actually a, book manual. No it's a link to generic information and a few pictures. The books are great but how can the get this so wrong I wish I could get a refund. YouTube is better. Haynes even does better YouTube videos than this manual.. Come on Haynes you used to be sooo good.

total ripoff for the money save ur cash dont bother

sad to say what a total waste of time and money. I grew up with a haynes manual in my hand every weekend. But this new autofix thing they are selling is completely rubbish. a lot of information is generic to most cars and not for the one you have! please save your money and go on youtube…… it’s so much better

If you are looking for clear and easy to find information on how work on your car look else where.
Haynes autofix is a waste of £27. It is to generic and dose not cover the car it is supposed to. In my case a 2015 Audi A3 1.4 TFSI

The Haynes Autofix is a waist of money basicallythe service manual you get with your car has more information nothing at all you get more for watching YouTube literally it difficult to navigate type in your problem get no response this is the world make you pay just to find out its basically a scam.

Not worth to buy this. A few specific information about my vehicle, and most of it is generic stuff that i already knew. Copared with the printed repair manual this is useless

The old Haynes manuals were useful, I always bought one when I had another car, But Autofix is useless, an expensive rippoff!
I bought one for my Lexus CT and could find little usefull. The diagrams and pictures are generic, not specific the the model at all! Gone are the step by step instructions with photographs, without those, it's useless! You will find some basic infomation about your car but not even as much as you find in a makers car manual.
Wish I'd checked here before paying my £26 quid.
More fool me!

Why did I no read the reviews first 🤔 I own many old printed manuals and they are great, full strip down of actual vehicles with pictures text and tips.
Auto fix on line manuals are a complete joke! Very little vehicle specific instructions and the videos are generic. Complete waste of time and money. Get better vehicle specific info and videos on YouTube! Have done feedback directly to Haynes with no response 🙂‍↔️

Absolutely pointless!!! fault finder - search for a fault, it cannot find oil leak or gasket, rocker cover. I'm appalled that Haynes are misleading customers by advertising this as a auto fix manual for your car.

Bought and downloaded manual for Renault Laguna Coupe. Cost £26. A total waste of money. Very little vehicle specific information and very basic accompanying drawings and instructions. I am so disappointed. Old hardcopy manuals were brilliant. You could take out and reinstall engine with all instructions and diagrams very clear. Do not buy manuals. They are just not good. So disappointed. I hope Haynes read there reviews and take note. I believe old Haynes manuals were based on technicians actuals taking cars apart and write manual based on this

Spild af dine penge. Har nu købt 3 af deres online-manuals. Manualerne er overhovedet ikke model-specifikke. Alle 3 har billeder af andre biler end den man har købt til. Kan stort ikke bruges til noget som helst. Instruktionsbogen som fulgte med bilen, er meget mere brugbar end de her manualer. Haynes bøgerne er gode, men de fåes ikke til mine biler.

I bought the repair manual for the Renault Megane GT line. It's a shame, it's just generalities, there's practically nothing specific about the vehicle. In the past, yes, there were books with everything specified.

I bought a haynes manuel for a toyota rav4 imagine to my disappointment not seeing a guide on how to remove the crankshaft and con-rods and Pistons. Absolute rubbish total rip off. No help to anyone. The old haynes manuels were great. These online manuels gloss over every repair. Please don’t waste your money.
