Service Information Software

I bought the F-body software for Service Information ( Copyright General Motors Corporation) from ebay for about $20 or so. Been using it for a while. So far, so good, but I can't compare it to the printed service manualto see if anything is missing.

What I like is the search feature (once you get the hang of it) and because its on my laptop, its always available. One thing that surprised me was there are no photographs, all illustrations are line drawings.

Was wondering if anyone else uses this software, and what you think of it.

I hear ya. Wish I had the time to take care of our cars. The van is under warranty, so I let the dealer take care of any issues. But I would rather take care of the firebird myself, at least as much as I can do.

I've managed to pick up factory service manuals for most of our cars on ebay for ~$50 a set. I got one for my 93 K1500, my 02 Olds, and for a 99 Camaro/Firebird.
