## Alldata Reviews
  ### 1. AllData Has Everything I need for my shop Especially the Color Electrical Diagrams

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Luis C. | Automotive technician, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 12, 2026

**What do you like best about Alldata?**

AllData has all the information I need to repair cars, and I really love the coloured electrical diagrams.

**What do you dislike about Alldata?**

It does not have any information about high end cars like Maserati, Lamborghini, etc…

**What problems is Alldata solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It has all the available TSBs and a proper code workflow to help diagnose a vehicle correctly.

  ### 2. I WOULD FIND ANOTHER SOLUTION

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** David F. | Marketing Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 26, 2025

**What do you like best about Alldata?**

I wouldn't know because they keep charging me monthly but been locked out for months now.

**What do you dislike about Alldata?**

Talking to their account manager that will tell you anything to sign up for their 1 year contract and then when you need to cancel within the 30 day paid window trial will tell you he doesn't know what you're talking about and lock you out of the platform even while you're paying the full monthly to get caught back up and only solution is to offer extending your 1 year agreement. This company has been a nightmare and they do not care.

**What problems is Alldata solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I haven't been able to login for months now. I've given up but they're quick to tell me they'll send me to collections if I don't continue paying. This company is a nightmare, full of liars too.

**Reviewed Date:** December 30, 2022

**What do you like best about Alldata?**

Alldata is the measuring stick for other auto repair guides.  The relatively new colored wiring diagrams are great.  The labor time guide is accurate about 85% of the time, which is better than most.

At times the labor time data is inaccurate.  This doesn't happen often, but needs to be recognized when repair instructions begin after completing a qualifying process.

It reduces the amount of time needed to estimate repairs.  Helps with wiring and diagnotsic processes.  It is a must-have for any auto repair professional.  Improved efficiency for technicians and service advisors.
