Does anyone know the difference between the Helm's "shop" and "service" manual. I tried asking them before I ordered a couple years ago and they didn't give me a real clear answer, so I went with the service manual and it seems to have everything in it.

Why bother buying a printed copy when the pdf copies are available free.

that is a link for the 4th gen manual, still available. And having a paper manual is much easier to work with, especially if you are using multiple sections of the manual, I actually have both versions, but like the paper better.

I gotta agree with you. Having the paperback is alot easy to work with when your actually working outside on a vehicle. I was just putting an offer out there. Personally, those books are priceless. I have many different models from civic to ridgeline from 1988 to 2008.
