Thank you. If you have contact with author/maintainer suggest a donate button. I am starting a business and need access to electric schematics and would love to contribute to access this data.

    No prob! This is why i ADORE kagi. I find amazing shit like when the internet used to be great around its peak (05-2012 ish) and then I keep all of it.

    The internet is trash now so mostly I keep my own documentation of everything in notes I keep backed up. The average clueless Googler is really a sad common thing now.

    700 gb sounds like alot all text of Wikipedia is like 170 gb and I think that's uncompressed. Im assuming most of the manuals are stored as pdfs instead of text with pictures so it takes up more space.

    Only goes back to 1982, at least for Ford. Shame my car's manual isn't in there because of it.

    EDIT: Lemon goes back far enough, but it appears these are text only, without pictures or diagrams? Why wouldn't they just have scans of the actual manuals?

    Unfortunately seems to be very US-centric. Citroen is completely missing and Opel only goes up to 1979.

    And for brands that have a US presence, very common European models are missing (Ford Fiesta, Toyota Avensis)

    They only go back to the 80s. My 76 rolla and 56 Buick are not in the list.

    Cool but the 56 Buick is missing still, goes to 1960 this time.

    This is cool and I'm not downplaying it at all just being silly. I don't expect to find a service manual for something so old anyways. Plus the thing has like 4 moving parts and no electronics basically lol

    Lol I was excited for this and then clicked the page only to see the links for my vehicles were purple already but with no recollection of visiting this site before.

    As a paper manual kind of guy, what do you guys do to better incorporate these digital manuals into your work? I try to avoid touching my phone with dirty or greasy hands/gloves. Maybe I need to setup a garage laptop...
