Actually I use ALLDATA PRO, which is the one most shops use, and this covers all cars. ALLDATA DIY is just about the same thing, but they restrict you to one car/one subscription--that's why it's so much less expensive than PRO.
Still, for someone who is into DIY, ALLDATA DIY is a great deal. I think it's about $29 / yr.

I didn't realize there was a separate site and everything.
Here's the link:

Gee, there's a $600 off promotion linked there at the moment. I should jump on it. Too bad changing the oil is about the limit of my skill set.

This isn't strictly a repair link. RockAuto offers a tool where you can compare parts costs between different makes of cars. It's a bit similar to Edmunds' True Cost to Own calculator but limited to costs of parts.
You may be surprised to learn that a replacement parts for the used car you are thinking of buying costs one and a half times more than parts for a different brand.

Hopefully this link will be up for a long time. Get TSBs and wiring diagrams for your car or truck. TSBs go back to 1960. Wiring diagrams are available from 1986 to 2010 currently.
