Why Autodata?
Established in 1975, Autodata is Europe’s leading publisher and supplier of technical information for automotive professionals through printed and electronic media.
Researched directly from vehicle manufacturers
Autodata has developed long-standing relationships with every vehicle manufacturer and coupled with over 30 years industry experience, Autodata is able to provide comprehensive, accurate information to the professional workshop technician to service, repair and diagnose work, as specified by the manufacturer.
Over 45 skilled industry-trained technicians
Autodata prides itself on employing researchers who have also been “hands on” in the workshop like you. These skilled writers and illustrators are conscious of exactly what you need and ensure that all of the information is checked over again and again to ensure that when the product reaches you, you can be confident that it is right.
The most comprehensive technical library in Europe
It has taken Autodata over 30 years to assemble the vast library situated at its head office in Maidenhead, Berkshire. Dating back to 1959, this source of invaluable information contains workshop manuals, service specifications, schedules and wiring diagrams for almost every vehicle.
Unique house style - clear illustrations and concise text
Autodata is renowned for the distinctive standardised style of its text and the presentation of its illustrations and diagrams e.g. the popular clear “glass car” illustration enables you to find the exact location of a component and also helps to identify the VIN plate/engine code. The timing belts diagrams show clear belt layouts, sprocket alignment, tensioner adjustment and tightening torques.
