Automotive Service Information Structure
Information is structured around the needs of an automotive service business: maintenance; diagnosis & repair; parts and labour; technical support.

Automotive Oriented Lookup Hierarchy (Component Indexing)
Component Indexing arranges the entire ALLDATA database into a single, consistent information format - organized the way a master technician thinks and works. From the vehicle to the component level, all relevant information types are consistently listed together. You get fast, easy access, reduced search time and more efficient diagnostics.

Year, Make, Model & Engine Specific
Information presented applies to specific year, make, model and engine (YMME) combination. Unrelated information about other years, makes, models or engines is not displayed.

TurboView Navigation
ALLDATA’s exclusive TurboView navigational tool automatically tracks the information that you look up as you use the system. A click of the mouse instantly displays a list of the component and subsystem information that you most recently looked up and makes it readily available to you.

Advanced Hyperlinking
ALLDATA’s editorial staff creates hyperlinks so that you can easily and quickly move to related articles. With hyperlinks, you can move between all related repair articles from a single screen.

Split Screen Text & Image Viewing (Image+Text Display)
ALLDATA saves shops time with its adjustable split screens for simultaneous viewing of repair procedure text, plus images. The Image+Text Display eliminates the need to move between multiple screens. The zoom feature allows close-up viewing of diagrams and illustrations.

Comprehensive Vehicle Manufacturer Coverage
You get factory diagrams (including wiring, ground, connector and exploded diagrams), service precautions, repair illustrations, factory diagnostics procedures, and connector locations.

Advanced Technical Service Bulletin Features
TSBs give you access to the most up-to-date factory fixes available. Unlike other information systems, ALLDATA TSBs are linked all the way to the component level. If a TSB applies to the information being viewed, it is easily spotted by the user and accessible with a mouse click.

Simultaneous Parts and Labour Lookup (Image Hot Spots)
Image Hot Spots provide the fastest, easiest way to identify the exact parts you need. Just click on the highlighted parts within exploded diagrams and the system automatically displays their OEM part numbers, prices and associated labour times.
