Aftermarket professional service info is the best, or/and sometimes OEM service info is good also can be way more helpful than aftermarket.
Very helpful video Chad. I have always wondered what the differences were since pricing varies, but your info confirms it.
Thanks for making this video, it really clarifies some of the questions that I been having regarding these services.
Great video. You are correct about alldata's new site is much more useful and similar to the professional site. The DIY site didn't have the rewritten diagrams and the links weren't interactive.
Nice job on the video- right now Mitchell is offering 6 mo at $99 a month for the pro version. You need a business to sign up but great price.
A couple of years ago Alldata did a phase shift where the DIY version was upgraded to include color interactive wiring diagrams, etc, but it came at a steep price increase (~3X). That works if you only own the car for a year or two. But for those expecting to own it for many years, the ebay hard copy of the dealers manual is far more cost effective. Of course you lose TSB's and updates when you do that. Nice review, Chad!
thanks! I use the alldatadiy a lot for a fleet shop where we don't see a lot of different vehicles. I didn't know identifix had a diy version. I also find the Mitchell diy version hard to navigate.
Start to finish tutorial brilliant

Thank you very much for sharing this information, I have been using this platform for a year and it has been very useful, I did not know some functions, greetings champion
Have found OE diagrams on Mitchell , by clicking on component on blue lettering . Scroll through on right , choose diagrams in this box . You will find some OE drawings , in that selection . As I said not all , some just bring back to the redrawn . Suspicion would be , not all available but many are .
Trying to do a 2021 GLA 45 AMG transmission service and would you advise where I can get the info Dealer wants $1400
The version of Identifix at ~ 24 minutes is pro. I have identifix DIY and it only has one vehicle. And all of them suck with Volkswagen. ProDemand might be the best one, but I have yet to find out how to get it. Does it come with Alldata?
Very informative for the diyer! Thanks for taking the time to share!
Overall, what is everyone's top pro pick?
I tried alldataDIY. There wasn’t a procedure or process for simple brake bleeding of a particular vehicle I was working. It was only available in PRO. To me I think DYI for the money per year being paid is somewhat misleading and should include that. Anyone should be able to do that. Now I know ABS systems it isn’t all that simple you do need a bi-directional tool to bleed the ABS system but if you just replace a caliper or wheel cylinder. That should be in there for someone to do. Luckily I was able to refund my subscription and got my money back. Pro is around $1,800+ per year. Not a fan of all data and was excited to try it but in the end disappointed. If you can find an actual manual for whatever vehicle it’s worth it paying $100 or so for it. At least you own it and no subscriptions.
Now if you would only be able to compare aftermarket scan tools. Like the Launch or Autel or even OTC's versions.
Thats would make my day.
No that this didn't. This video was very well done and I'm going to follow your recommendations.
Thanks
So, which one do you guys prefer for Audi?
Emanualonline is not accurate information! I REPEAT Emanualonline IS NOT ACCURATE! I purchased it for my 05 silverado and the Ebcm pin out is WRONG compared to Alldata!!! I spent money and GOT BURNED BY It!!! All you need to do is find one thing incorrect and how do you know how much other crap are you going to find incorrect? Your diagnosing powers and grounds and signal wires and the information is all over the place! I’m even hesitant about all data when it comes to technical information that you need for a correct diagnosis!!
How many cars are you allowed in the DIY version? That’s because I only work in hybrid and electric vehicles and I don’t want to pay for regular vehicles because I don’t work on them. I feel they should start an EV and Hybrid version because these type of vehicles is becoming more abundant and many shops are starting to learn to fix them.
You can right click on any link and choose to open in a new tab or in a new. Better than bookmarking in my opinion 👍
Hi Chad, I wanted to give you an update on the Mitchell 1 DIY application, eAutoRepair, that we've been working on over the past few months. We've been putting a lot of effort into enhancing the app with new features that will make it easier and more efficient for you to navigate and fix cars. We've taken your feedback seriously and have incorporated many of your suggestions into the new features. As a result, we're excited to announce that the upgraded eAutoRepair platform is now available, and it includes an interactive color wiring diagram, among many other new tools.
The upgraded eAutoRepair platform is now available, and we encourage you to check out the new features. Thanks for your continued support.
how do you get oem subscription?
Thanks!
At my library we used to have all data, but only inside the library. They got rid of that this year but it still has Chilton online, and it works decently. You don't have to be at the library either, just logged into your account to use.
Is there a multi year option for the DIY Identifix? I am showing only $25 per month. Thanks for the video!
THANK YOU! This is incredibly helpful. I'm just getting into working on my car and it's almost 3 decades newer than ones I used to work on. I'll be honest, I'm quite intimidated by all the new tech and was looking for more info. This is really encouraging as I'm having trouble finding a good paper manual. I may take on more challenging work that used to intimidate me. Thanks again.
Data is data, it's all about presentation. I am software developer and web developer. How you present and manage the information presented can make a friendly, useful, and enjoyable experience or crap. What I like to see from these is an semi pro DIY where I can buy a subscription with choice for up to 5 cars for example or 10 cars at a discounted price. For example $10 a car for 5 cars. I don't have a shop but do a lot of repairs, mostly for free just have the customer buy parts and mostly the same cars. I don't want to pay $450 a month but
You talk too damn much.
Prodemand is the shit, I do side work outside of my regular shop so I have my own subscription and it’s paid for itself over and over again
Very nice comparison video!
Emanualonline only goes to 2014 for Dodge Durango.
They upgraded the DIY Prodemand to be just like the pro version now. Also, the manual does say to pull the heads off. It was on the next page step number 1. That is the factory OEM manual and it always has the criteria for the job.
Alldata was virtually useless for my 1997 Nissan truck so it was canceled pretty quickly. Wasted money.
