With the purchase of your Japanese car, it does not come with a workshop manual, instead the dealer that sold you the car is looking forward to making more money by servicing and repairing your car. To be cynical, there is more money to made servicing and repairing than selling you your Japanese car.

Finding it hard to find the workshop information on your Japanese car? Ever wanted to consult workshop manuals and technical information for your Japanese car? So that you can fix that little niggling problem that the dealer can seem to fix.

In most modern Japanese cars the use of OBD II scan tool (on board diagnostic tool) is essential. Cars of now have several onboard computers to perform and monitor various functions. This invaluable tool will tell you if anything is not quite right with your Japanese car. Most of the time the interface for you to plug in this scan tool is located on the driver's side and in the foot well. Apart from that, some OBD scan tool can also tune your car.

Now there is a resource where obtaining diagnostic trouble codes, service & repair specifications and lots more are available online and on demand. Access to your Japanese car's technical information would enable you to install accessories and fix little problems (such as excessive wind noise from a window). Most people like to customize their car; Japanese makes of cars are one of the most popular for vehicle customization such as adding HID lights, scissors doors, neon lights, installation of body kits and outrageous sound systems. The customizations of Japanese cars were made popular by a series of "Fast & Furious" movies which glorified illegal street racing.

In the movies nitrous injections, adjustable suspensions, bigger turbos and all sorts of electronic gadgetry were on display. The movies used actual racers and real cars, not set cars. All these customizations require specific technical information so that the installation of any modifications can be done correctly, safely and perform correctly. This technical information should be freely available to keep your Japanese car in peak condition and saving money at the same time. If repairs or servicing is done by a service technician, the knowledge from an online technical information database can be used to verify the service or repair.

There no need to buy workshop manuals, no more installation of workshop manuals that may be
incompatible with your operating system and no more hassling the dealer for information. A subscription to a newsletter is all it takes to access the information on a large range of Japanese cars including Imports.

This is a big step forward in saving money and making sure your Japanese car is fixed or serviced according to manufacturer's recommendations. This technical information used to be a closely guarded secret which Japanese car manufacturers and their dealers keep close to their chest. Now there is a resource that provides the subscriber with free full service and repair information on demand.
