Yup. Guess they caught on and they actually check to see if you provide a valid number.

Most public libraries have access to a repair manual database. Mine uses ebsco and is free to use if you provide your valid library card information. Check with your local library.
I have verified that the information and procedures in the ebsco database are the same as my factory manuals.

That's okay if it's a one time need, such as when helping out a buddy. But it's a pain to run to the library every time you need to look up a repair for your vehicle. I'd rather drop $30 on a used set of factory books or $20 for a DVD and have it handy to me 24/7.

I can view them on my phone while working on the car. I agree a shop won't want to do that, but the average person I've noticed on this site would be happy to look something up on the computer (their on this forum already looking, lol), and print out the page if needed.
