Factory Service Manual

Howdy, I've recently purchased a 2012 Civic EX and can't seem to locate a Honda factory service manual. I've tried Helms and online searches, but I've only found the body manual and Haynes manuals.

No, I am not looking for a free one, or a cheap PDF copy, but a paper copy to purchase, hopefully at a discounted price.

I'm a aircraft mechanic with over 30 years in the profession and I like the layout of the factory manuals and how it's more detailed on how to carry out a task, unlike other manuals that generalize tasks.

Thanks in advance for any assistance. Ed.

Helms is OEM. It may take a little while (I know it has been a year) Always my 1st priority once I get a vehicle is to locate the oem manual.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Re: Factory Service Manual

The only paper manual we got was the wiring diagrams book (ETM).

Everything else is electronic (at this point, for that car). Welcome to the future.

I hate it too, I like paper.
They work every time.
They are reliable and stable.
They work when the internet is down.
They work outside.
They work in a power outage.
They are easy to use inside the car.
You can bookmark with a pencil. Or anything handy.
You can use MANY bookmarks at once.
Flipping pages is sooooo much faster than waiting for the computer to receive and render a picture, just to find out you clicked the wrong window.

More. Much more.
