Oh great... Another subscription.. another monthly/annual recurring charge on my credit card for something I've done my whole life without. Great job capitalism.

Everytime we turn around another company is offering a subscription to something, or worse, forcing us into a subscription to do the same thing we've done for decades without one... Death by a thousand cuts. Or more accurately.. "Poverty, by a thousand charges."

I like AllData, but I can't make the financial argument and convenience for 1 or 2 cars vs having a proper OEM repair manual that I can quickly reference without needing a computer in my garage or an internet connection

Edit: the complete Scion FRS service manual is hosted here somewhere.. I know I already have it on my computer. You can find most official service manuals online for free or close to it without having to incur a monthly charge. I've been able to do this with a Toyota Matrix, Ford Expedition, FRS and every Honda I've ever owned.
