Does anyone know if there is a more complete service manual than the Chilton/Haynes publication? I used to have a workshop manual for a previous vehicle that I purchased through Helm, Inc. It was hundreds of pages long with schematics and diagrams for everything. Contacted Helm this morning and they informed me that their cut-off for the Civic was 2011. Honda North America says they do not produce or publish service documents for consumer use, but their technicians and engineers must be using something. I've seen pictures of a green manual that has proven impossible to locate, though I'm not sure it's even the right one. Any insight is appreciated.

Teeps on here has a link for service information, but I believe it's pay per day or something like that.

Pay per day? Yikes! Thanks for the tip. Got the Chilton manual on the way, but I'm also looking for something like this:

I have a chinese unbranded knock off one from ebay, seems to have most service manual content for the different trim lines.

was 10 bux, and easily searchable since its a pdf.

if someone can drop a link for a dropbox, can back it up there.

Starting in 2012, with the Civic. Honda stopped printing service manuals.
This continued with each full model change year; until here we are...
Aftermarket manuals have never been as good as a genuine Honda publication.

The supposed advantage to online service data is it will always be "up to date."

use the power of search... Javelin3 pdf viewer shows a TOC and is much more usable for this file.

I’ve had good luck finding service manuals on eBay. I set up my searches to inform me when matches are posted if I don’t see one right away.
