Anyone have a good resource for service manuals for equipment and cars?

The internet is dead. It is now useless for technical information. It's just ads and bots. Can't find forums, communities of mechanics. It's a data wasteland out there.

You can get a OEM Factory Service Manual for ANY car on Ebay, or Amazon. Just search - "OEM Factory Service Manual" + Year, Make, Model of the automobile.

Haynes or Chilton are the two main non-factory options.

The county library here has factory manuals. Tedious to shuffle thru but if you're familiar with factory manuals, it's not so bad.
