Default Alldata.com?

Is Alldata.com the best place for service and repair information on a 1996 SC300 or is there a better site or sites for information?

I agree, I have alldata for my SC300 and while it is helpful I find myself using the Supra PDF manual I have more because alldata leaves to much info out. I will be purchasing the SC300 Manuals in time, but if you can't afford the manuals Alldata is not to bad.

What is FSM I think I have heard of it ,but it being shortened I have no clue what you mean.lol I like alldata I have used it for years and was brought up on it. Good for information on a variety of cars ,but not so good with very pinpoint testing items. The pictures are not the best in the world either. TIS (bible of Toyota products) is very good about pinpoint testing and other Toyota,Lexus, and Scion information. Numerous sources is the best way to go so you can check to see if the other info source is in check.

I have Alldata here at my school and while it's great to have a manual free for me to use a lot of the info is missing. The wiring diagrams are broken up and don't flow nicely. Part #'s are also a pain to locate here. My advice: bite the bullet and buy a shop manual for your car, it's worth all the $$$
