Default All Data DIY

Does anyone have a subscription to this? I was thinking about checking it out for my 08 and maybe my girlfriends 2012 WK2.

We used to have AllData at the tech center where I attended auto tech classes. It was a useful manual, they had procedures and torque specs as well as TSB's relating to the models. I enjoyed it, but pricey for just one vehicle. If you're servicing (frequently) multiple vehicles then it makes sense.

Yea I've seen the pro version of this but was looking for someone who had experience in buying this DYI version. Im wondering how detailed the repair procedures are in this.

I have the DIY subscription. Five years for something like $30. Additional vehicles are discounted.
The procedures are like those in the factory service manual. The electrical diagrams are as good, too.
I like it mainly because it's accessible anywhere there is an internet connection. No need to have the books or the CD on site.

Thanks Ron. Im sold and now i've got the 3.6 penstar as the new addition which is a 2012 grand cherokee. Could be some good info in there. Im not sure if it was AllData but there is a program that also allows for mechanics to leave comments and for you to put in trouble codes and it shows a percentage of which fix needed to solve the problem. For example 75% of mechanics solved this no start condition with a new CPS.

Does All Data do that or am I confusing it with another program?

AllDataDIY gives troubleshooting procedures for each code, but not the % you mention. That would be an interesting feature, though.

I apologize for the misinformation on the price of the subscription. The first vehicle is $49.95 for 5 years; additional vehicles are $34.95 each, for 5 years.
$10 a year and $7 a year isn't bad for two vehicles.
The price I gave was what I remembered from when I first subscribed years ago.

The percentage of fixes is the BlueDriver, @Rednroll has one and he's posted his experiences with it- seems to really appreciate that feature. I think those were only $100 to buy.
