Autodata Group Avis 

Had a monthly subscription for a number of years lot of the time the info was wrong was paying far too much for what we needed tried to reduce the package with no luck. Eventually we cancelled our subscription, Heard nothing from them and 8 months later vet a very rude letter from debt collectors demanding money for something we never had as it was cancelled and turned off. AVOID AVOID AVOID
TRY E3 Technical much better value and very helpful

Avoid! Bombarded by emails so we tried the paid trial, didn’t need what they offer so we cancelled, nearly a year later they pass on £1000 to the debt collector for something we never used! When we spoke to them (by email as the phone line was down) they said it’s been passed on now so deal with it???? The company is on its way out, there should be a better way to make money than theft!

I learned today that Autodata times are used by second-hand car warranty policies (e.g. RAC) to price the labour work.

I had a rear wiper motor failure on a Porsche Cayenne (2012)... the claim was approved by the warranty provider (RAC); however, according to the RAC policy, despite a limit over the labour hourly cost, AUTODATA times have to be used to quantify the labour!

Now, AUTODATA deems that only 0.6 hours (YES, LESS THAN 40 MINUTES!!!) are required to remove and replace the rear wiper motor (including wires etc.) in a Porsche Cayenne!

This resulted in a claim virtually voided...

It's very basic with a few torque settings and the odd fill/drain hole diagrams. The TSB's are handy although not always very accurate.

I was really expecting something more comprehensive such as workshop manual repair guides etc. So not really worth the money.
