Default Who makes a good repair manual for the tC?

I've been checking around at different auto part stores but none seem to carry one for the tC. Anyone know of a company that makes one, like Chilton or Haynes? Thanks.

Toyota has a good repair manual for the tC...

what would you like it for? it's all in pdfs so it'd be easier to give whatever you need.

Hey there, ScionSean. Here's what SquallLHeart was probably referring to.

Check out the Toyota Technical Information System web site at http://techinfo.toyota.com. They have daily/monthly/yearly subscriptions to online manuals, service bulletins, etc. starting at $10 (for 1 day).

Hope this helps!

I just want to buy one for doing mainenance and repairs on my car, and just reading about how everything is put together. I'm looking to get the paperback book, because it has all the torque specs and a variety of other info that's just more convenient to use than PDF's. So Toyota sells one at the dealer? Is it pretty thorough? Thanks.

i have access to those if you can't afford the fees, however i do have to access the info from a certain location.

i have a copy of the '05 manuals on my computer at home as well and can send whatever you need.

i do not believe they have a paperback version and if so.. it'd be very expensive.

The Toyota manual is amazingly thorough. It'll blow any Haynes manual away. There's simply no comparison. None. At all. Toyota does sell this manual. I am not certain of the exact price, but it's north of $100. Get the pdfs.

Yeah, that'd be great if it wouldn't be too much trouble. I'm not sure how large the file is but my email is SCarlblom1@hotmail.com. Thanks, I appreciate it.

it's 50+ MB worth of stuff.. and that's just the "repair manual" section..

i think there was a link to a zip file someone has on a server you can download from... i would have to find it.

I too would like to get my hands on that. If you know where that zip file is, that'd be great...
