alldatadiy - opinions

Hi All

I don't see any specific reference to the Alldatadiy.com service site but wondering if any of you have subscribed to this and is it worth it. I have a 2009 C300 4matic and want a (non existing) shop manual. Has anyone used Alldata and are you happy with the cpmpleteness of the info for doing more intricate repairs and trouble shooting.

Thanks
Mike

I bought one from Ebay but did not received it yet. If you want I can give you some feedback once received. I also got one from Tradebit and was not able to install it yet....

I have subscriptions for my R107, W123 and Dodge pickup.

Good Points:
It is convenient to use and includes a SEARCH function.
It is on-line thus is available at any computer and does not require a disc installation.
Includes flat rate times so you can estimate time to repair or cost to repair if you have work done at a shop.
Identifies factory special tools to do the job. A mixed blessing; it is up to you to jury-rig something else if you don't want to buy the tool.

Bad points:
The photos are terrible. They look like 6th generation reprints.
It can be incomplete in some areas since it is a selected reprint of the factory manual.

There is another level of alldata for professional shops. It is probably much better but I suspect the cost is very much higher.

Bottom line is: I find it useful but another manual on CD or paper is needed for backup. I also have CD manuals and find them more complete but less convenient to use.

Hope this is helpful.
