OEMs Have Video Procedures

Looking for more information about a specific repair procedure? Some OEMs are now providing videos within the repair procedures on their service site. Vehicle makers may also have additional websites that contain repair videos. We researched OEM websites, and when we found these helpful videos, we wrote articles to let you know.

These videos are not meant to be a replacement for reading the instructions for a specific procedure. They are meant to be a tool for providing clarity to assist in understanding the step-by-step instructions in the manual. It is important to note that not all procedures or vehicles contain videos.

Although videos can be extremely helpful, they are not intended to replace the written procedures. They are there to serve as a guide. Being diligent with reading and following OEM procedures is vital to ensure a complete, safe, and quality repair.
